That being said we gathered 12 professionals to give us some of their best advice for business majors. Everybody has a different story and perspective, and it can be helpful to take a step back from your own situation at times. College is an exciting time and brings many different opportunities, but it also brings many challenges and choices as well. Whether you just started college or are about to graduate, it’s never a bad idea to get some career advice.
