I am going to UGA in the Fall and I am thinking of majoring in business management. Anyone have any advice concerning this? Anyone already gone through college as a management major and have advice concerning the career aspect of management?

I've been in management since '95....One piece of advice that will serve you well.. make sure you have thick skin because you will get shit from both sides, those you manage and those who are your superiors.
Thats not to mention all the other things you have to put up with...

I just finished my degree and I have 10+ years in the field. Take all this advise in.....you must have thick skin and patience (like what the others have said). One other thing you might consider is narrowing a particular path down in the field. For example, you have marketing, HR, information systems and several other fields within business management...I would pick one thing and go with that. Right now I plan to go the Grad school and major in Business Administration
