What would be the best major for me?

What is the best major to pick for Buisness?

• My goal is to become a manager for a Bmw dealership and someday own my own dealership. what is the best major to follow in college. currently I am a Business Management Major and Ive been told by many people that a major in finance with a minor in Marketing is the best option in the business world. should i change my major or just start a minor with management as my major?

• Answer:

  Congrats on your decision to go into business. you're asking great questions. I would disagree with the choice of majors, personally. Finance is good, but the marketing one can be weak. Marketing is pretty easy to pick up, actually. If you're thinking of opening a car dealership, you're going to be an entrepreneur. So, take accounting classes. Finance is geared more towards investment professionals. Accounting is for managing the books of a business. You should really look at the end goal, and that is to get an MBA from a Division 1 school, like Tuck, U of Illinois, and others. For that, you'll need excellent grades in undergrad. For your info, opening a BMW dealership is not just about knowledge. You have to have a lot of money that you can put up. Even if you're a manager at a BMW, and know how the car business operates, you still may not have the capital (money) to buy a dealership. A dealership easily requires a million dollars to open (I'm not kidding). You should go to BMW.com, and figure out the process for asking to open a dealership. They will give you the financial requirements. I hope this doesn't put you off. Business is a great major. But like all majors, there is lots of competition. I hope you become very wealthy. :-)
