How can I make sure that when I get my Business Management degree it's corporate not retail?
I noticed that some people when they go into Business Management they get their degree and go into retail which really only pays half the amount as corporate does. How do you make sure that the degree I get leads me into the corporate world, or middle management instead of retail managment?

Well, the obvious solution is not to apply to any retail jobs. If you want to improve your chances of being hired by a major corporation, though, keep your GPA up, keep an eye out for internship opportunities while you're still in school, and stay on top of the recruiting process (your school's career center can help you with that).

Is it hard to get a job with a healthcare information management degree

Health Information has become over saturated with new grads with no experience. Most employers are looking to hire people who have at least 2 years experience. But if you are truly interested in HIM, don't let this stop you. Your best bet is to try to get a job elsewhere in the field, gain your experience and then leverage for the job you want. I would suggest you looking for a low/ entry level job in medical records or billing in a hospital. Always volunteer or offer to help out other depts and learn all you can while helping. I did that when I first started out and it was invaluable. There was a huge surge of new grads the past couple of years, but I think people are getting frustrated with the lack of jobs for new grads and have left HIM for other fields. I think that will be advantageous to people like you who truly have an interest in it, and won't be graduating for a couple more years. by the time (i hope) things will have settled down a bit.

What can I do with an Event Management degree
What can I do with an Event Management degree?
Well, I'm getting my Associate of Arts degree in Public Relations and I've been looking into majoring in Event Management and maybe minoring in Advertising. But, then I started thinking about what job opportunities there were for a major like that. I know there's little stuff like wedding receptions etc. but I want to be a part of something big, like a music festival. I think you have to "know people" to be able to get into stuff like that right? Any input would be great.

What careers can I get from a 4 year Fashion Management degree
What careers can I get from a 4 year Fashion Management degree?
I would like to know what jobs are available after taking a fashion management degree? What jobs are available? I don't agree with you duffer a lot of students go into college without knowing what they want in life. The purpose of higher education could be to expand yourself as a person.

This is the cart before the horse! The purpose of higher education is to help you maximise your potential in your chosen career, not to indulge a whim and then look for a job to fit it!

Are you going into this program or have already been enrolled for awhile? If going in, emphasize the merchandising aspect. There is an ongoing need for buyers who know their stuff when it comes to quality, value, and style. Everyone from the haughtiest fashion stores to Wal-mart has buyers. If you have been in the program for awhile, you do need a lot of business courses, including at least one course in managerial accounting.

I am interested in a sports management degree. What are some of the best sports management schools in the US
I am interested in a sports management degree. What are some of the best sports management schools in the US?
I am currently in high school. I want to be a sports executive when I am older. I have a 3.9 GPA, and I am looking to put that into a sports management degree. I live in Michigan, but I am not interested into the University of Michigan. I am thinking about Seton Hall in New Jersey, since it is so close to New York. I haven't visited any schools yet, but I want your opinion of what the best sports management schools are in the country.

Have you looked at this listing? http://www.nassm.com/InfoAbout/SportMgmtPrograms/United_States Seton Hall would be my last choice. Actually, any school in NJ would be my last choice.

How likely am I to be hired as a paralegal with a Management degree
How likely am I to be hired as a paralegal with a Management degree?
I am a junior in college working on a Business Management major. I am considering becoming a paralegal after graduation. Would it be best to change my major or keep my major and enter a paralegal certificate program? Do employers care if my degree isn't law related? I'm in Arizona, btw. Thanks.

If you posess a degree - or any other qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the bunch when it comes to searching for vocations. My friend has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he uncovered some good tips and tricks on the website in the resource box below which aided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is plenty of guidance on the website regarding other vocations.

You would need to take a Paralegal program because that will teach you the fundamentals of the paralegal field. Business Management does not. You may learn a few things related to law but that will not give you enough knowledge in paralegal.

Honestly, it depends. No one here can predict for you how employable you would be. I know many paralegals that have their bachelor's degree in various areas. It isn't mandatory that you have a paralegal based education. With that said, please do your research on what a paralegal is and what they do. I don't think it would be prudent to ditch your business management to become a paralegal. If it is something you are just "considering", I suggest you really do some research and ask yourself if it is worth it. I can tell you from my stand-point that a business management degree won't turn any heads in my office. Like the previous poster said, a paralegal's education is very specific. My basic coursework was family law, torts and personal injury law, criminal law, business law, elder law, civil litigation, legal writing, legal research, law office technology, etc. Very tailored to what I was going to do. You will be at a major disadvantage. Your hiring attorney might not care. He/she may just see 'bachelor's degree' and assume you're smart enough to catch on. If you do decide this is the path for you, please attend an ABA approved program. Do not get duped into 1 year certificates or online programs or paralegal institutes. At the very least, you should be attended a two year community college program. Good luck.
