Business majors are the 2nd-most-awarded bachelor's in the U.S. — about 398k degrees a year. That's a signal — recruiters have a process, companies have rotational programs, and the alumni network is a dense web you can actually call.

Being generic is the trap. Companies hire for "finance rotational" or "supply chain analyst" programs, not "business" majors. Pick a concentration by sophomore year — finance, ops, marketing, or accounting — and do one internship in it. "Well-rounded" lands you in retail management at $52k.

Yes and no. The coursework (accounting, stats, ops) is useful. The group capstone pretending to be a company is not. The real value — two internships, a network, and knowing which finance term means what. Judge a major by its internships, not its syllabus.

You have to fake it sometimes. Plenty of people in business classes are quiet. The difference — they know how to walk into a room, remember names, ask one good question. Networking is a skill, not charisma. Practice at low stakes first.
