Default Which of these degrees do you think would be best?

I am currently in an English degree program, but I'm thinking about changing. Which of these do you think would be best? Also, which do you think would be best for a creative-minded person?<br />Business Administration <br />Business Quality Management <br />Criminal Justice <br />Human Resource Development <br />Operations Management <br />Strategic Leadership<br />

Go to the Career Counseling office and ask to take a test (the Strong-Campbell test is the name of one). They show what you are interested in and would do well in as a chosen career field. I have a degree in English, then went on for an MA in counseling. This is exactly what Strong Campbell showed me when I had to take it as a class assignment., It is right on for many of my friends, also.
With my English degree, I was able to be a manager of a Water Association, with strong emphasis on Public Relations, was able to be editor of a local newspaper, was able to work and also do the Master's Program. Human Resources is good, but you have to like offices and people; it can be very creative in how you operate with the people assigned to you. Quality Management is excellent , if like me, you like to edit things and find a way to make it better. So many choices. You could also go to Career Counseling office and ask for a book on what a degree in English can do for you...there are hundreds of choices most of us don't think about. You just need to get out of the box, be creative and think about what you would do if you weren't being paid to do it, and then get the final degree in that. Go with your passions and you will always wake up wanting to go to work.

Criminal Justice
Human Resources........................or

Dental?

ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! Only joking......well not really. At first I only wanted to become a Dental Hygienist but my mother told me that if I wanted to take the time and actually take education for what it was then go all the way, so now I'll be your next Orthodontist &quot;See you next time with the perfect smile&quot;

Default

if you want to be creative, you need to get into marketing or something of the sort. it will give you an opportunity to use your brain to come up with creative methods on achieving new business.

if you are an english major, you can do a lot of things. writing, being an editor, do reviews, be a blogger, be a teacher. but none are going to have HUGE payouts.
