You are wasting your money if you major in Business Management for 4 years. I havn’t met many people who have been hired right after graduation in a management position. Concentrate in another field of business and complement your degree with an MBA. ---

congrats on passing, despite some of the sentiments on here, it will open doors, you just have to walk through them. Management positions from what I have seen always look for experience over education…within reason of course. Retail is its own animal. I scored a 3090 for reference. ---

Education is great, but sometimes the real key is not what you know but WHO you know… A foot in the door can be more powerful than a diploma. That’s why a lot of schools really focus on internships/co-ops and the such towards the end of their curriculum. Network, Network, Network. A lot of places will also pay for your schooling once you’re in. If you feel as though you can present yourself well, go try applying at geico, I know they have tuition reimbursement (and a pretty decent starting wage). ---
