It’s difficult to determine which major is best for future entrepreneurs. Believe it or not, some entrepreneurs never even attend or finish college and instead put their resources into creating a business. While we generally disagree with that approach, there are entrepreneurs who made the right choice in taking that path, though it’s very rare. Still there are certain things to keep in mind while considering your college major.
Developing into an entrepreneur
The major you decide on is not nearly as important as how you actually use it to develop into an entrepreneur. Sure, having Harvard Business School on your resume can increase the number of opportunities for you in the future. However, that in itself will not guarantee that you become a successful entrepreneur. Rather, you need to hone in on the higher education opportunities that help you develop the major qualities to become a successful entrepreneur, such as courage, integrity, work ethic and accountability. You’re most likely to develop these qualities when you learn something that interests and excites you.
Expose yourself to the business sciences
Expose yourself to courses in finance, accounting, marketing and business law. You don’t necessarily need to major or minor in these areas, but it can certainly help to expose yourself to them, as they are key aspects to every business.
Think about the industries with the greatest opportunities in the future
Be mindful of the future and particularly of the industries that provide the greatest growth prospects. Innovation in technology, healthcare, energy and education will provide significant opportunities to entrepreneurs in the coming years.
