I got a Healthcare Managment Degree, best decision I have ever made. I originally wanted to be a personal trainer, but after doing some research I found out that it was not the best move for me. I went to community college for Health Science, but felt stuck with what I wanted to do after I graduated. I finally found my local university with Healthcare Management which eventually landed me a job doing Marketing for a Urology company. Knowing that I am going to work every day helping patients is the best feeling in the world.

S Tier- Management Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, Supply Chain Management

[mrmartywaring]

As someone who graduated with my undergrad in Business Administration, it is very, very flexible and can allow you to move into specialties such as marketing, accounting, finance, human resources, management, etc. It is really a solid degree IF you have a plan.

[secretnobody]

Starting a bachelor in Business Information Systems this year and I am already 30, coming from a hospitality and tourism industry working as a waiter. I'm ready to change my life. BIS/MIS is the perfect balance of a tech background and having a business skillset . i am not good with math so pursuing computer science might be too hard for me. BIS is just perfect!

[xylyuzp]

Thank you for all you do Shane! I remember seeing your first MIS video a few years ago. Im only 2 years into my career after graduation and I already make six figures.

You are the man! We are grateful for the awesome information you put out there so people dont waste their time in college!

[JoshHitti]

Supply Chain is arguably the best BS (in business) you can get, opportunities are endless. I had multiple job offers before graduation and after 6 years I’m making mid-six figures.

[treyjenkins]

I already knew most of this so I just watched it for entertainment. Thank you for keeping it real! And I did learn a thing or two!

[Pooh]

You should do a video about best careers for people with high functioning autism

[FernandoR]

I have degrees in business economics and supply chain and I can agree with this ranking. Supply chain is all that fortune 100 companies care about now.

[Aiden_Muslim]

Shane Hummus because of you I'm studying MIS (Management Information's System) at the University of Carleton here in Canada and my sister is studying her master's in nursing with management specialization in Western University. You really guided us, may God bless you.

[amandakuebler]

So I was with you up until the Marketing degree lol. But you are accurate that you do not need a degree to become a marketer. I started my marketing career, specifically digital and content marketing, without a degree almost 10 years ago. I worked my way up to a Director and then my position was eliminated and I was laid off in Dec. Finding a job as a mid-career candidate is EXTREMELY difficult without a degree. I am now going back to college to get a degree. If you are only looking to make 50k a year, a degree isn't necessary but if you want management responsibility or the higher end of the income range, a bachelor's, if not an MBA, is going to be beneficial. Just my 2 cents. Great info otherwise. The pitch and recommending forgoing a degree just got my dander up a bit since marketing was specifically why I was interested in your video to see where it ranked lol

[munch]

Next year could you break down management information systems a bit further. Breaking it down into computer info systems, business analytics, cybersecurity, IT, etc. MIS is just such a wide range of majors

[investmentking]

One thing to note is if struggling between Finance or Accounting, look at the courses you are and will be taking. This is because you can plan out your degree to where you get the Finance degree and have most CPA prep course already done making it easy to switch. Also if in Accounting you probably want your CPA. For this reason I would pick Finance. It’s what I’m doing.

[queensgambit]

Accounting is the best business degree to have as it is the language of business and with it it opens all the doors for everything. Accounting is also the hardest major in business. You are also considered a professional once you get the degree right away, and what you learn in school is what you apply in real life on the job

[coreyschramm]

I’m currently a junior at IU Kelley studying Finance, Business analytics, and economics: one thing to consider is that finance has a wide array of salaries: if you are going to Investment banking, private equity, hedge fund, Venture capital … the pay will be a lot more then if you go corporate finance. Even then that will be different from work as a credit analyst or product management, consulting… etc

Degrees to add
Consulting and business analytics (might be grouped in with MIS though)

[pabloalmeida]

For me the best business degree has to be Accounting. Very good job prospects and a decent salary with a bachelors and once you get you’re CPA you have a guaranteed middle/upper class income.

Plus you learn an actual skill that will allow you if you choose to go the entrepreneur route. In second place I would say Supply Chain Management/Logistics knowing how important it is for almost every business in the world

[PeterJ_]

I would argue Business Admin as better than D tier, but then again I take note that your video focused more so on "entry level." A lot of people I know undertake a MBA degree (or similar) to progress into management roles. I.e. Nurse to Nurse Manager or Director of Nursing.

So true it's not great for entry level but for career growth it is excellent.

[analyzethislexi]

One thing about Entrepreneurship programs though, is that some schools have excellent incubators, mentors, and access to investors. So I think the type of program that the school offers really matters. University of Texas at Dallas has pretty good program!

[jdredwine]

General Business and Business Administration is literally the same degree just a different name. Rarely anyone graduates with just a basic Business Administration degree. It is usually Business Administration with a concentration in Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, Marketing, etc. A degree you forgot is Sports Business Management/Sports & Fitness Management/ Recreation & Sports Management. Huge growth rate both in the US and globally and even youth sports these days is a multi billion dollar industry and parents are spending tens of thousands per year on it. Fitness is also multi billion dollar industry. 7% growth rate I believe.
