Hi I have a degree in accounting and have between involved within alot of industries. With a degree in management you could be involved in the fly fishing industry and you will have knowledge of the management process. You could also become a specialist business consultant for businesses within this industry. Also speak to your lecturers and I am sure you will be excited with your future's potential. I wish you all the best. Kind regards Al http://www.ooste.com

You're going to need at least a 4-year degree to manage a store, a 2-year degree will be worthless.

Do you work for either company now? If not, you may want to fill out an application ASAP and check to see if they have a management training program. Unless you have extensive management experience spanning 10+ years at another store and an MBA from Harvard, it is HIGHLY unlikely you can just walk into a Sephora or Bath & Body Works and become a manager without a company specific program...especially if you only have a 2-year degree. I worked retail for 6 years (Price Chopper and Stop & Shop, which are both grocery stores) and both of them had a management training program -- that was the only way to become a manager -- and unless you had a 4-year-degree, you pretty much had to work there first to be considered for the program. Pretty much the process went like this: 1. Start off working part time OR graduate from a 4 year program in business. 2. Apply to the management training program. 3. Be accepted into the management training program. 4. Successfully complete the management training program (could be up to 2 years). 5. Work as an assistant manager and wait for a management position to open (positions open all the time, but those without experience will likely not be offered the position right away). 6. Apply for management position and hope you're the best qualified applicant at that time. 7. Keep your position because managers tend to be bounced from store to store every few years My best friend waited 3 years to become a manager after completing the company program (she had a B.S. in business and worked for the company for 7 years). Another friend of mine is on year 5 waiting and he's hoping he's next in line for a management position (he doesn't have a degree, but has been working for Walgreens for 8 years and is on the last level of assistant manager before becoming manager).

What is the advantage of having a business administration degree as well as a business of management degree
What is the advantage of having a business administration degree as well as a business of management degree?
I've already recieved my business admin degree with my major in accounting...is it a good idea to take the extra yr to get a business management degree or will the major in accounting be sufficient enough alone?

Depends on what you want to do. Your B.S. in accountancy should be sufficent enough. Instead of taking an extra year to double in Management, you might as well check into B school and get your MBA. (Two year program).

How useful is a bachelors degree in management
How useful is a bachelors degree in management?
I'm majoring in political science and I'm considering adding on a practical second degree. I'm studying political science simply because that's what I'm interested in learning about. I have no management experience, so I wonder what I could actually do once I get the degree. Is there a good career that would make use of a double major in political science and management? Something with good demand that wouldn't have too much competition?

Good demand and no competition? Sounds like you should tack on economics in the mix to find out how that's kind of impossible. I'd say do what you enjoy in political science and follow up with a professional graduate degree like an MBA - which admittedly are a dime a dozen these days, but hey, if an MBA is a fluff graduate degree, what's a commerce/management undergrad degree worth?

You'd probably be working as a consultant / advisor / teacher to business people in a developing country. It wouldn't make sense to have you teach English in an upriver school. The first answer you got was remarkably foolish.
