Job Satisfaction

General quality of life statement

International business is one of those majors that's just a license to print money. Soon as you graduate, you'll be raking in hundred dollar bills and cloning dinosaurs just to make them box each other.

Wait, not so fast. We have some bad news. A lot of bad news, actually.

As it turns out, this major isn't an instant ticket to Moneyland. As a matter of fact, what you're going to be making is comparable to what your shiftless liberal arts friends are going to be pulling in. And they do it while still somehow having free time. Thanks, guys.

Maybe it's because of this, or maybe it's the high-pressure nature of the job, but most international business majors aren't happy with their jobs. So you're not making it rain unless you're crying. That doesn't sound good at all. In fact, that sounds terrible.

There are those out there who have majored in international business and have done all right for themselves. Bear in mind that if you've heard of them, they're likely the tiniest and topmost percentage. The best of the best. This would be like assuming that just because Lebron James makes millions and millions of dollars, anyone that picks up a basketball will do the same. The business world has a way of weeding out those who aren't at the top.

If you want to go for it, don't let us stop you. Just know that it's a longer and harder road than it looks at first.
