Are business and finance majors in high demand?

I just sat through a college graduation and it seemed like most of the people were graduating with some form of a business or finance degree. Do these degrees pay the best and are the jobs easy to get?

Finance and Business are generalized business majors that prepare you for a number of career paths. They are non-specific and therefore may SEEM to be in high demand, only because so many jobs will require that degree.

If you're looking to go into a job with high demand, you need to change up your search and look to the market for JOB growth. Which jobs will grow the most over the next ten years? twenty? Then turn to what degrees are generally required for those jobs. Finance is at the root of some, but not all. You will find that science based majors and careers are the way to go. Money Magazine's latest rankings for job growth are in the sources section for your reference.

Personally, if I could re-choose my career path, I'd do something with nanotechnology research, biological research, or chemical research.

Hope this helps.

They are in very high demand. One of my friends is an Adminstrative/IT major(business) and she found out that alot of companies are asking for her. The higher you go in education the better pay you are going to get.

They are if you were thinking to go this route do it and you will have a career for life

They are like General Ed. degrees, easy to get and not that expensive. The hi tech degrees, Science, Math, Chemistry, Medicine and Law, all pay more, but are much harder and more costly to get.

I graduated yesterday with a finance degree and have been interviewing for about 5 months now with several companies in financial advising positions and corporate finance. If you really apply yourself you can find anything, unfortunately most new grads are content to sit back and wait for the offers to come in. I accepted an offer after receiving several, so I think that the field is in demand. Good luck in your search and congrats on choosing the greatest field out there!
