i need some help with starting my own business some day?
Question by BroncosGirl6: i need some help with starting my own business some day?
I’ve never been too sure about what i want to do with my life after high school, but now I think I know what I want to do. I want to open my own music store some day.
I want to know what I should major in in college. I figure business is a give, but are there any other areas that I would need to own my own business? I already have some high school areas of business that I think will help: I’m a member of FBLA which is Future Business Leaders of America; I’m currently taking computer business applications and I plan to take accounting and office management, which would make me a business course completer which looks good on your college application.
Also, does anyone know if the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is good for majoring in business? That’s my dream college. I’d also like to live in Colorado, are there good schools there for majoring in business? Thanks for all your help!

Since you know that business is a given, have you considered what the music store business scene will look like once you graduate from college?
An undergraduate degree should begin to focus your interests and talents towards something you are good at doing, you enjoy, and can allow you to make a living or contribute to society. However, many college grads still don’t know what they want to do, work in jobs they don’t like, and eke out a minimum standard of living.
Instead of focusing on what to take, focus on what you’d like to take. College is a time to learn about yourself and to channel your energy into an area that will sustain you, financially and spiritually.
Ask yourself, what about the music business do you like. Retail sales of CDs? Music is becoming more downloadable, and CD sales from brick-and-mortar retailers are dwindling fast. Sheet music and musical instrument sales/rentals? Viable as long as kids learn how to play intstruments in school.
If the former, maybe a computer programming course to understand how to digitize music. If the latter, perhaps learning the basics of different instruments and how to play them, or even how to read music.
Lots of unknowns…but you have lots of time to figure it out. Don’t worry about after-college career. Enjoy college and learn as much as you can.
