I am working on my BS degree for business and general management. I know there are many jobs I could qualify for, but I was wondering to be a singer or actors manager, am I in the right field or would I have to be in the music field? And also sports managers? Football and basketball players? Would I qualify for that? Or is there a sports field you are supposed to take?

Hi all, My name is Daniel and I am a highschool student interested in business and sports. Because of this, I was wondering what kinda careers are in the field of "sports management". I'm not talking about stuff like becoming a GM (general manager) of the Yankees or anything, just what kind of management jobs are there for big sports franchises, how difficult they are to get into, and what education is needed. Also, if you have any good information about sports marketing jobs for big franchises as well, I would love to hear them. Thanks

I am currently a senior in college and I will graduate with Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I want to go to graduate school and get an MBA. Here are the program options that my current university (Niagara University) offers (I am planning to go to this university for grad school): -Accounting -Finance -Strategic Marketing -Human Resource Management -International Business -Strategic Management -General Management -Healthcare Administration As everyone, I want a job that will make me the most money in the long run. What is the best path way to go? Please don't tell me to apply to a better school because I love my school (Niagara University is an AMAZING school) and do not want to change, and because they offer an option to finish the program in 16 months and I want to finish as soon as possible! Thank you. MM, because you are being rude, you can forget about best answer for your other answer. I'll ask this question as many times as I want.

I am in a Technology Management B.A.S. program and I have to pick a sub-plan but don't know which to go for. I am interested in computers so I was thinking about doing the business information systems concentration. My question is what kind of job would I be able to land with that degree? p.s. My other two choices are general management and information security assurance.

Okay, so here are the conditions: I am fifteen and about to get hired at Publix to be a bagger. The first thing I want to know is how good of a place is Publix for working in general (atmosphere, managers, fellow employees, etc.) Now I am also considering going for a management job later on when I am older. So my second question is this: is it actually as easy as they say it is to move up in the management section at Publix? This is the path I am thinking of taking, would this work: 1. Bagger 2. Bakery associate 3. Bakery Trainee 4. Baker 5. Bakery Department Assistant Manager 6. Bakery Department Manager and possibly: 7. Assistant Store Manager 8. Store Manager Of course I would only be working part time up until I was eighteen (so numbers 1-3 maybe 4.) So to sum this up is publix really a good place to work in general and a good place to go for management or is everything they say just a bunch of bull? Sorry, I forgot to add if it will help me out to start working at the age that I am now (so will I look better than other candidates for managers by starting at an early age.) And I keep going on, but... Do you think it would help me out to go to college and getting a degree in Business Management (bachelors degree)? Thanks so much! Also, if you currently work there or have worked there could you state that so I know, and if you don't work there I would still love to hear your opinion;)

Would I have a pretty good chance at a management job at an AAFES store, after serving 5 years in the Navy and working one year in retail immediately after? Management at my current job has nothing but good things to say about me....I applied for an AAFES management job in Iraq. Do I have a decent shot at that job? Or are they looking for people with actual retail management experience?

When you hear some people talk about their jobs, of how their managers are micro-managing them, they tend to speak negatively about their employer. Why does mico-management lower job satisfaction and organizational commitment for employees? Can someone explain this to me?

I am currently studying Accounting and Finance and have been asked to construct a presentation about General Management. I have a few questions which have to be included in the presentation and have answered a few already. There is five left: 1. What kinds of technology are available to a manager? 2. How is the technology used? 3. What impact does it have on a manager's job? 4. What are the positive effects? 5. What negative effects does it have? Thank you for your help...this seems to have absolutely no practical relevance to my course!!
