When deciding on a business major, begin with a self-assessment to find your strengths.

Like so many college students, I started out in a major (engineering) that wasn’t the best choice for me. My dad was an engineer and suggested the same career path for me, so I gave it a try. After a spectacular crash and burn in advanced calculus, physics, and chemistry classes, I looked long and hard at my choices for the future. What I came to realize is that my true calling was in business. It could have been obvious all along if I had taken the time to do a careful self-assessment of my inherent skills, interests, and past experiences.

Hopefully this advice will help you set out on the correct path right from the start, whether you are a high school student thinking about majoring in business or a seasoned professional looking to upskill or make a career change.
