 What's happening? It's Shane here and today I've got something very special for you. We're going to be going over the top 10 business degrees for 2022 and beyond, and I am going to be sharing with you my secret list that I've spent well over 100 hours making. Now, usually people only have access to this list if they get my college 101 course, but I felt kind of bad because a lot of people for whatever reason, you know, either don't get the course or they can't afford it and so they don't have access to this stuff, but I decided I'm going to actually include parts of this list in the video. I've included certain degrees that I've never even mentioned before on the channel. A lot of the times these are degrees that are mentioned in my comments, so I look into them. If people show interest, I tend to make videos about it. So let's jump right into it right after you gently tap that like button, hit the subscribe button and ring the notification bell. Let's set the like goal for this video to 3000 likes. See if we can hit that goal and also I think only about 20% or so of you are subscribed. Most of you are lurkers and then maybe like 9% or so, something like that have hit the notification bell. So come on, I think we can do a little bit better than that. Those are some rookie numbers. So the first one on the list is going to be managerial economics and this one has about 5,500 graduates, at least they did last year. Now this one is kind of a combination of management and economics. Of course, economics isn't technically a business degree, but I usually include it just because of the fact that you'll be competing for a lot of the same jobs. And with this degree, you make around $59,000 a year starting off and 106,000 in mid-career pay. Now that's based off of the pay scale numbers. Now the salary score is pretty decent. The demand score isn't as good, unfortunately. And the way I basically predict demand or calculate demand, it's a few different ways. But the main way is I look at how many people, how many listings on sites like monster.com and indeed.com decide to list the actual degree itself, right? So does the listing have the keyword managerial economics degree? And unfortunately, only about 59 job listings have that as a keyword. And that is a sign that there is not very much demand. So it can be pretty difficult to get your first job right after graduating school. But once you get some work experience, get your foot in the door, get that first two years or so of entry-level job experience, you should be good to go with this one. Next one on the list is going to be hospital administration. Now, this is one where I almost didn't include it on the list. The statistics are relatively low compared to a lot of these other ones. I will say this makes a pretty good combination if you're also getting a healthcare degree. So first of all, last year about 2,400 people graduated with this degree. Early career pay is 49,000, mid-career pay is 88,000. So the salary score is decent, not amazing. The demand score is a little bit better than the last one. About 396 job listings have this as a keyword. And so the demand score is about 45, and that's out of 100. However, one of the reasons I included it is it does have a relatively decent meaning score, especially for the business degrees, which are notoriously relatively low when it comes to meaning, which tends to translate to job satisfaction. The number eight best business degree, and I'm including all different types of business degrees in this one, and you're going to really see that with this one, it's going to be engineering management. Okay, so this one is a very rare degree starts off around $65,000 a year and mid-career pay is 106,000. So very good there. Now the demand score is relatively low just because of the fact that it's not a well-known degree. About 114 job listings have it as a keyword. So that's a demand score of 13. The meaning is pretty decent though at about 55%. So that's the reason that it did make it onto this list. Number seven on the list is going to be advertising. And this one is very similar to marketing. It's more of a subset of marketing that has an emphasis on the creative side of things. So this one, you'll have around $43,000 a year starting out and $86,000 in mid-career pay. That's pretty decent salary, but it is the lowest on the list. The demand score, however, is excellent. So 19,000 job listings have this as a keyword, which is a demand score of 106 out of 100. That is fantastic. However, the meaning is about 32%, which is extremely low. So a lot of people get into this and they don't necessarily think it's a degree or a career where you're positively impacting the world. But yeah, about 4,300 people graduate with this one every year. Pretty interesting one, not bad at all. Next one on the list is going to be international business. This one starts off at about $50,000 a year and 96,000 in mid-career pay. So that's pretty good when it comes to pay. When it comes to the number of jobs available, about 435 listings with a demand score of 49. So yeah, not too bad. It can be great for the right type of person. You know, somebody who wants to travel or live abroad. 5,600 people did graduate with this one last year. Number five on the list is going to be a marketing degree. And this is one of the most common degrees. 35,000 people were awarded this one last year. $48,000 starting out 89,000 mid-career pay. So okay, not amazing. However, the demand score is absolutely off the charts. 130,000 job listings mention a marketing degree. That's a demand score of 146. So it has the highest demand score out of any of them on this entire list. One thing about really common degrees like a marketing degree is it almost has like a brand name sort of thing going on. Pretty much everybody recognizes a marketing degree. Anybody who's in the hiring business like a hiring manager or, you know, a boss or, you know, something along those lines, they've probably hired someone with a marketing degree. So it's kind of a degree of familiarity, right? So if they see someone with a marketing degree, they see someone with an advertising degree, they might just go with the marketing degree because of the fact that they're familiar with it. This is kind of one of those biases that the human mind has. A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush sort of thing. And so yeah, generally speaking, marketing degree is going to be a better choice than an advertising degree. Although in certain circumstances, advertising might be the way to go. Next one on the list, the number four best degree is going to be supply chain management. Last year, about 5,100 people graduated with this one. And we have seen why in the past few months, this is an incredibly important skill. You know, a few months back, we had a ship that clogged up the Panama canal that messed everything up. And we've had a ton of supply chain issues ever since then. And a lot of this does have to do with, you know, COVID and everything. But some of it just has to do with people not being very good at supply chain management. And one of the big things that we are seeing now is increase in food prices, increase in gas prices, etc. So this one, $58,000 a year starting out, 94,000 in mid career pay, that's pretty good. A very good demand score of 105. So yeah, this is a very important one, very good now. And I think it's going to be even better in the future. Next one on the list is going to be a finance degree. So this is one where 37,000 people graduated with it last year, relatively common degree. Early career pays 55,000 mid career pay is 98,000. Pretty good there. I will say this is one of those high risk, high reward type degrees. You could go into the finance world and, you know, become a multimillionaire. It does happen quite often, even a billionaire in some cases. You could also go into the finance world and get burned out your first year after working 80 hours a week, like a lot of people at Goldman Sachs. This one has a fantastic demand score of about 133 as well. So pretty good salary, fantastic demand score. I will say this one is probably better for very competitive type people who are extremely interested in finance. Number two, slightly edging out finance is going to be accounting. This one is even more common with about 50,000 graduates per year. So salary is going to be a little bit less for accounting, $51,000 a year starting out, 88,000 mid career pay. Demand is also a little bit lower at a demand score of about 127. The reason that I put accounting a slightly higher than finance is because of the fact that it's just a little bit more flexible. There are more jobs that are available to you with an accounting degree versus a finance degree. There are many jobs out there that you can do with an accounting degree and a finance degree. And then there are some other jobs where you can only do it with an accounting degree, but you can't do it with a finance degree. Next one on the list, number one is going to be my favorite business degree. It's kind of a combination of technology and business. And that is going to be management information systems, $60,000 a year starting out, 105,000 in mid career pay. So the pay is just excellent. The demand score is also excellent at 113. And that's especially amazing when you consider the fact that, you know, I try to make my rankings as good as possible. But when you think of management information systems degree, that's four words that you have to put together in order to get that demand score, right? And a lot of people probably are not going to add that as one of the keywords in the job listing. Whereas accounting degree, marketing degree, finance degree, that's only two words. So it's much more likely to get added. So in reality, the demand score is probably even higher than that. This is just a model that I use to try to predict what the demand is. It's not always completely accurate, but it is relatively accurate. So yeah, about 7,800 people graduated with this one last year. It is becoming one of those kind of brand name degrees getting much more popular. A lot of people need the skills that this teaches you. Hope you enjoyed the video.
