[quote=Anonymous]Oh my gosh.  Such unhelpful posts.  Dear OP, a few thoughts:

1) 9th grade is early to be making a decision so my recommendation is that you encourage him to keep his options open.

2) “business” is a wide field.  If he is thinking finance at a top investment bank / private equity / asset management firm  (that is what is highly compensated) then a liberal arts or Econ degree  from a T20 school is what he’d would want to aim for.

3) He could got T50 for smaller financial firms

4) For business more generally, what is he interested in? Product development, product management, accounting, marketing, sales? (Sales is most highly compensated in that mix) I would suspect he/you wouldn’t know without experience.  So maybe you son should reach out to some local businesses and try to do some informational interviews?

5) also just encourage your son to work in different businesses to get a feel for what he likes. Summer programs also have business options but can be pricey.

Now, meanwhile, I know the world of business and my DS wants to go into medicine which o know nothing about.  Any advice? [/quote]
