I'm generally curious about your guys' opinion of my choice of study at university.
So I'm going to study International Business in the Netherlands this september. It focuses mainly on preparing you for a management position in an international environment. I will combine courses in Business Management with courses in Sociology, Economics and Law. It is entirely taught in English.
I am actually excited to start this study. What are your thoughts on this study and the job opportunities I'm able to get?
everyone's going to tell you to study something quantitative. it doesn't matter what you major in to some extent but people look at quantitative majors like math and science and it gives you more options. There are technical fields within what you want to study, so do that and don't do international relations. You can do management and business with a science or math degree, but you can't do science and math jobs with an international business degree. Take your fun little classes on the side, but make your actual degree a B.S.

Learn mandarin and/or farsi. Thank me later.
Xavier Hughes
I was actually thinking about learning mandarin, writing is the hard part though. Speaking is relatively easy compared to the writing
Liam Perry
thing is, I cant do math or science because the way the school system works in the Netherlands: it doesn't allow studying that if you didn't choose a science package in highschool (like me)
James Robinson
Burger here. No education is worth getting wrecked by student debt. If that doesn't apply to you, have fun
Caleb Miller
Start with pinyin and gradually learn the characters. Depending on your base intelligence it may not be too difficult.
Michael Martinez
that sounds fucking awesome sociology and economics are pretty meme-tier majors, law is good, take some IT or tech-related courses if you can, and finance i guess.
>fuck all the dutch pussy you're able to, >don't smoke too much of the weed at once until you have a tolerance most importantly >network with your professors
seriously do that and you'll get internships and then jobs. all you have to do is visit them in their office when not in class, well in burgerland at least but i'm sure they're accessible there. network with those fucks and you'll make it.
>Student debt Burger indeed! Here in youroop we have education free! As many as you can get till the age of 26.
Jacob Brooks
I have always been interested in IT etc. I will take a IT course if I have the chance. Some recommend me studing IT entirely but I always thought that was a big meme.
Daniel Brown
Hell no, for international business im paying 2400 eur a year (1200 first year)
Andrew Cruz
Why farsi?
Nathan Taylor
seriously try to study econometrics. I guess you are studying at Erasmus University. study econometrics, most useful degree at that university. rest is BS. :)
Nathan Ross
no too many chinks in Europe already, learning Mandarin ain't gonna help you, chinks in Europe way ahead of you.
Jacob Gomez
>preparing you for a management position in an international environment lmao, no. s studiyng business does not make you an manager.
Hunter Peterson
OP here btw. My ID keeps changing since I am using a portable wifi router. I can't study econometrics, the level of math required for econometrics is math type B, I have graduated highschool with math type A. I am going to study International Business at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.
Kayden Morales
>description of the study itself I think the study is pretty interesting
Ian Campbell
just do lots of internships, extra-curricular activities like Model UN, or some student business society and become president of it. I have some friends did International Business in Erasmus University, though I think their degree is a joke they still got decent white collar jobs. They were in students organizations like: kembe.nl esn-rotterdam.nl rsmstar.nl cemsclub.se
try do exchange for semester in another country like sweden or singapore
do internship like customer development intern at a fast moving consumer goods company like P&G.
now my friend is a "key account manager" whatever the fuck that is after doing a BSc International Business Administration at Erasmus and MSc International Business Stockholm School of Economics.
Evan Jenkins
Do you guys think a C++ course next to International Business is a good choice?
Easton Morgan
I think they also have that in Groningen. Im willing to do extra-curricular activities. The internet says International Business is a fairly respected degree here. Loads of people apply for it though. Next year they are going to put a numerus fixus for it.
I can do one semester abroad indeed, why do you recommend Singapore or Sweden?
Anthony Evans
Some guy told here on biz how he learned mandarin and was always dealing with mainland chinese. Guess what it was like for him...hell. Absolute hell. Chinks are literally one of the worst people on earth.
Hunter Flores
Yeah my dad deals with Chinks all the time, they can't speak English for shit and mostly try to scam you if they get the chance.
Thomas Flores
This is a meme. Chinese people have a rich cultural heritage of scrupulous honesty, integrity and hard work. Don't believe the lies.
John Bell
The Chinese people that my dad deals with are not all scrupulous honesty and integrity though. He had 3 cases of which they tried to scam him.
Adrian Perry
My dad works at Nintendo and has never had anything but positive experiences with the Chinese. Maybe it's something about your dad.
Dominic Parker
Learn programming, take a minor on it or something and build things yourself.
Otherwise you'll just be one of those idiot PMs or business managers etc.
