    Business Administration: Industrial Management, B.S.

    This is what I've been thinking about. I need to take some introduction type of courses in management and economics as well as another accounting course to transfer to UTC. It's still going to take a while yet. Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it.

    You can always choose one and then change if it turns out you don't like it

    I'm going to be majoring in Sports Management.

    The plan is to work my way up and become the Steelers GM. I'll ruin their franchise and set them back 10 years. All along, I will have had an alliance with the Ravens and let them know that the plan was to screw over the Steelers and come work for them. Then I'll become the Ravens' GM and screw them over just like I did the Steelers.

    Of course, at this point, the Titans will be in love with me (and I probably would've told them all about this plan ahead of time) and hire me as their GM. I'll stay there until the day I die.

    I've honestly changed my mind so many times, but Sports Management is the plan (and I would transfer out of state to a school with a great program).

    I initially planned on a Communications major, then thought about Psych. I've still got time to think it through because I'm pretty far behind in credit hours.

    I'm doing a Business Commerce degree with a concentration in Accounting, and then taking a CA program after....It's a lot of work but I think it'll be worth it in the end.

    I think based on your previous studies that would be a good way to go. You obviously aren't into math and science stuff (although the Industrial Management program will demand some stats and quantitative studies) but the degree could open a door for a number of jobs in management to get started. Once you get your foot in the door at a place maybe you can get them to pay for your MBA. Schools like Auburn and Tenn Tech have good MBA programs you can get through distance learning. Human Resources might not be a bad way to go either but you probably won't make much at first but you could also go for the MBA later as well.

    The important thing is to focus on something and then make yourself as unique as you can. Getting certifications in Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma down the road can go a long way. In other words the BS is only the first step. If you really want to be successful and make decent money you probably need to get additional certifications or degrees.

    The Industrial Management degree is a great start and there are a number of ways you can go from there. You could still go into HR later, quality management, logistics or focus on production. The degree can even get you into sales or customer service if that is something you like.

    What would you do with a Psych degre..? Maybe minor in it for a bonus, like "I can do that, sure." .. it's kind of limited, even in a good economy..

    I know a good handful of Psych majors, who have now switched majors because they realize they had no future with it...
