Default Business administration management diploma

Im 19 and not sure what i want to do as a career, I like working with middle aged kids 8-12 and younger teens 12-16. But instead of tying myself to one proffession by taking a specialized diploma/degree program at my young age and having to go back to school for a different job im thinking that business management would be a good place to start.

Im looking for some advice on here, has anyone taken a business course, success stories, failing stories. I know there are some older and younger people on here that have done alot and had there share of jobs and experiences in the workplace, so please share and hopefully help me decide if this is a good idea.

Im enrolling today but nothing is finalized until julyish when i start applying for funding. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some insight

I'm in my last few weeks of the business management deploma in the entrepreneurship and innovation stream at NAIT' JR Shaw school
Of business. Im thinking about carrying on for two more years with them to get my BBA degree.

Business does open alot of doors, originally I did it because I wanted to start
Own business, but now I'm planning on working for a fee years before starting
Anything. With a management deploma their are lots o good jobs you can score like municipal management, banking, sales ect. The degree just gives you a little more ( and about 15,000 more per year starting)

If you ever wanted to start a business I'd say for sure get yourself a managemnt deploma, but if you take business at NAIT. You'll take general business courses for the first year And you can pick a major after that In finance, accounting, human resources, marketing or management.

You'll learn some really good skills that set you apart from anyone else, research skills, analyzing opportunities, how to read and write financials, public speaking, how to strategically manage, laws, and models for marketing and management

I have a diploma in business which I obtained many years ago. No matter what type of career you end up being in you will use the business skills for the rest of your life. It will for sure not be a waste of time even if you do not end up in a quote, unquote business job.
