A Major in Business
Chad Jardine
I am a freshman that formerly went to Riverton High School. My father owns a custom home construction company named Jar-Con. My father started his company from scratch in an area of business that usually requires heavy investment from outside sources. Although the first years of running for his company were rough, it is currently doing well. It is because of this that I am interested in getting a business major. I have many questions concerning whether or not this is a good idea, mainly-is getting a business degree a good idea?
Many scholars and plain old business owners have many questions about this field of study and its application in the real world. These people ask questions just as I do, however, some of the questions they ask are on a large scale while many of mine focus on the small end of things. Questions they may ask include: “Is globalization good for continued business growth?”, “Can companies support the costs of American workers?”, or “Is big business good for society?” Those questions are meant to be solved by those who are qualified and have the training necessary. With that education they’ve received, I hope that those answers come for the best. I on the other hand am very nervous considering a future in this major.
Whenever I think about choosing to study in business, I become very hesitant. Will, after all, a business major spell s-u-c-c-e-s-s for me? I can only wonder. One uncertainty deals with whether or not I can make a good living by creating a business from nothing rather than in another area of study. Just because I earn the degree doesn’t mean I have a solid foothold in the career world. Another problem deals with my mental ability to endure the hard times that beginning in business brings. Then again, there are many positives to getting an education in business. Many believe that the knowledge a business major would instill would jumpstart my ambitions and put me on a track to a good job. The major could provide a pro-idea atmosphere where my ideas are mixed with those of others-maybe even the scholars who have questions themselves.
Can I presume to make it financially as well as educationally on only a major from a college? I suppose this is the underlying difficulty in making the decision to get a business major. I can only hope for the best and shoot for making it in the world. College will give great insight and further my potential, but will not answer all of my questions. That is my job, and heavy research into those scholars who have made it before me should shed some light. I hope I do well.

I am sure you'll be very successful in the business world.
You got some serious questions and I hope that you can find the answers to them soon cause you can’t be a floater forever but I do feel where you are coming from.
