I'm A Business Major And That Doesn't Make Me Boring

Just think, Elle Woods was a lawyer.

There are many different career pathways, and all of these come with some form of stereotype. For a business major the stereotype is typically that they are boring people. This is kind of hurtful as a business major. Specifically I am majoring in business management with a focus in entrepreneurship, and I think it’s pretty cool.

There are many types of business students. You have accounting students, which are probably said to be the most boring. I love accounting, and take offense to this. Accounting as everyone sees it is math, but they are wrong. Accounting is communication.

There are marketing majors which are the go getters of the group. Honestly, being in marketing requires being social, and being good at it. Marketing is not an easy career choice, and far from boring. They have to travel, and meet new people every day.

Management majors are the group that would probably be seen as those who don’t know what they are doing. To tell you the truth I don’t know what I’m doing, but that’s not because of my major, and it’s not the reason I chose my major. Management opens many doors, some of those being colorful and bright.

People majoring in finance have some smart brains. They are constantly going, and work hard to understand everything. In finance there are definitely more numbers involved than in other careers, but that doesn’t make it boring. To some a challenge like this is exciting, and again not boring.

Communication majors have to talk to people, it’s their job. They have to be outgoing, and willing to talk to anyone. They also have opportunities to further their communication skills, and these can be loads of fun. Traveling can enhance communication skills, and who says travel is boring. Meeting new people is an everyday occurrence for these majors.

To be honest some people may see these as boring, and that’s fine. Other people may not be interested in some of the typical “entertaining” and “fun” careers.

Honestly, anytime I hear that business is boring I think of El Woods. Yes I am aware this is not a true story, but it does bring to light that just because a person is in a so said boring occupation they don’t have to be boring themselves. This also goes to show that their career doesn’t have to be how everyone else sees it to be.

Business holds the key to being in any industry. Want to work in sports? They have their own accountants, managers, finance departments, and I bet they have people who have degrees in communication too. Looking to work in fashion? Again a lot of large companies have a department for each of these things. There are many opportunities given in the world of business that people don’t think of because it’s a “boring” career path.

People are different and that’s okay. Just because something is boring to one person doesn’t make it boring. A major does not define a person, the person defines the career they take out of their major.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
