Save yourself time and either do accounting or finance. Of find a better degree in general. Most of these companies are so picky that even with 5-6 years experience on top of having my degree I still get multiple turn downs. Many of these companies goes based on employee references. They’ll say experience can supplement but it don’t in most cases. Soon as you get the degree they still don’t hire. They only required to post positions but chances is it’ll be a internal hire.
thank you sooo much
I have a question. What happen with a BBA. Because if I do a BBA where of the 9 conentrations I choose finance, I am still on Business but it would be an specialisation on finance, which counts as a Finance major. In that case instead of comparing it would be a fusion? Bussines administration finance major?
