College student with business major, is this a bad idea?
College student with business major, is this a bad idea?
I am currently a freshman in college. My major will be economics + business and finance. when i graduate If i don't get a job here, do you think it's a bad idea to move to move to another country, such as Colombia and try to get a job there? i am fluent in both english and spanish. I would like to become (hopefully) some sort of executive (CEO, COO, ect.) Can i get paid more since i graduated from an american university? by the way- i choose Colombia because a. I have family there and b. beautiful women :-P

Yes. Everyone and their brother has a business degree, and, meanwhile, it doesnt teach you much. Minor in business and economics. Major in English (critical thinking) or language (useful skill) or something you are passionate about (makes you unique)
2 :
Your original choices are fine, and if you have Colombian connections it might be fun to move there and work for awhile. If you can't find a job you want to do here, then by all means look abroad, it may even be beneficial since you would have both the finance experience and international business experience (depends on the type of firm you work for in Colombia). If you want to become an executive officer of some sort, getting an MBA from a top school will be beneficial, and the work experience abroad would make you a very attractive candidate to many business schools. Good luck!

Finance or Economics would be good majors and an mba would be a plus but usually employers want to see work experience, not just an MBA. Of course familiarity with Colombia, speaking the langauage and having connections would help!
