Do you need business courses to be a corporate lawyer?
in university do i need to take or major in business? i know you dont have to, but is it better to? or is it better to take courses like history? because corporate law deals with business type matters..so wouldnt it be better to major in business? all the guidance counsellors are telling me i can major in whatever i want to become a lawyer, and i understand that..what i dont understand is how i am going to understand all the concepts and stuff in corporate law if i didnt take any business or math courses in university.

Yes I think you might, but then again you might just have to take business law. Ask a university councelor, they're probably your best bet for a good answer or better yet if you know a corporate lawyer ask them and they just might give you a straight answer, then again they're lawyers. Good luck KC... :)

Why wouldn't you want to take business courses? If that's what you do you should pursue as many opportunities as possible learn more about your field. It's never going to hurt you to study some business classes - and you might find that it's not what you really expected. There might be another area that you'd enjoy better.
3
In a corporate environment, you would have people in each area of business to assist you if needed. Which is what your counselors were trying to explain. That being said, it still never hurts to have some fundemental understanding. What I would also take is a legal research and maybe a technical writing course. The first year of law school is all about research. So if you understand how to search case law and statutes - and how to brief the cases, you will have a good head start.

Major in the field that you are going to achieve the best results in and will enjoy the most because the law side is very hard work. I have a friend who graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Forensics) and then went on to complete his LLB who got a graduate position at Ernst&Young- one of the top four audit businesses in the world! He said the corporate law elective in 4th yr explained the basics he had to know, the rest he has learned on the job. If you are going to struggle or not enjoy business- dont do it. Do a major that you enjoy and reap the benefits of good marks- these will get you a grad position in corporate law.

What basic business courses should I take
What basic business courses should I take?
My sister wants to open a retail boutique after she finishes college. She wants me to help her with it. Should I take a few courses in business/accounting, or should I get a few books on business and teach myself?

Imo, the most important college business course is Business Law. Law tells you when the conditions for doing something accounting-wise are met. It also tells you what the terms in much of trade mean and how they are used. The usual B school sequence is to take Law at the same time as Intro Accounting. both are a full year long. given your reasons I'd put off Marketing until after that. GL
2
Business 101 financial accounting marketing 101 microeconomics probably the more important ones also maybe a human/consumer/employee behavior class.
3
Take accounting. At the very least you will know how to keep your books, will understand them, and not have to pay someone else to do them. I am partial though as I am a bookkeeper.

is it hard to teach business courses at community colleges
is it hard to teach business courses at community colleges?
I want to teach at a community college (business courses). I'm planning to go to graduate school to earn a MBA degree. Does school matter? Is it difficult to land a job at a community college or even university of phoenix?

It's hard to find a job as a professor anywhere right now - there are far more people who want to teach than there are jobs for them. I very much doubt U of Phoenix pays enough to live on just doing that - working as an adjunct at a real college teaching 10 classes a year only pays about 20k without benefits. You'd need a full-time job, and those are hard to get.
2
I do know that most community colleges require a Masters degree. The difficulty is only in the person who has not planned lessons or does not have any idea how to sufficiently engage students in the learning process so that they have made a connection to the material. As far as the University of Phoenix - I have a friend who is a teacher (online) and she enjoys it. As for me - I don't care for this school - after having a very difficult experience with them, I would not attend, nor recommend them to anyone. But that's just me.

The requirements for teaching in a community college is to have an MA degree in the field where the community college has a need. Faculty members at public community colleges report spending 79.8% of their time teaching and 3.5% on research. Does the school where one received an MA really concern the potential community college employer? To most community colleges, the teaching skills of the potential candidate for an instructorship in the discipline is more important than the university from which the degree was received, however, other responders to this Yahoo question caution about online colleges,universities and institutes. Their cautions seem to be valid. Are there teaching postions available in community colleges? The answer is "yes." There will be jobs available, but it is highly likely that most of these jobs will be part-time, rather than full-time tenure-track positions. There were an estimated 26 million part-time workers in America in 1993. (8) In fact, "since 1973, the number of full-time faculty has held relatively steady, while the number of part-time faculty tripled." By 1993 full-time faculty members constituted only 35 percent of the total number of community college teachers across the country. The remaining 65 percent were part-time faculty.(9) In the fall of 1996 California's 106 community college system served 1.39 million students, with 16,000 full-time faculty and 26,700 part-time faculty. The potential for more teaching jobs in the community colleges has increased in 2010 because of the actions by the Congress. This week, prior to the Congressional July 4th recess, the U.S. House of Representatives was expected to vote on Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 supplemental appropriations legislation. American Association of Community Colleges along with the rest of the education community, has been advocating for the inclusion of critical funding for education jobs and the Pell Grant program. It now appears that funds for both of these purposes are likely to be included in the House bill. While it was not not everything that the educational community had been requesting, it was good news for community colleges.
4
It is not as difficult to teach the course as it is to get a full time job. Many community colleges cut down their payroll expense by hiring part time teachers who do not get benefits. I know a cc teacher who teaches at 2 separate colleges but does not get benefits from either.
5
teaching is the easy part. finding a job is hard. many schools today are hiring part timers because it allows them to hire with out giving benefits.

What business courses in college should I take if I want a fast paced, exciting career as an Avon lady
What business courses in college should I take if I want a fast paced, exciting career as an Avon lady?
I'd really like to follow in my Grandmother's footsteps and become a career gal in the Avon business but my father is insisting that I go to college before entering the work force. What college courses should I enroll in if I want to become an Avon lady? Also, does Avon provide cool, pink cars like Mary Kay? My neighbor drives around town in a pink Mary Kay car, and I'm thinking that is going to be my goal as well, only I really want to stay in the Avon company. Thanks.

you don't need college if your career goal is to be an avon lady. you just need to hand out catalogs and convince people to buy soap shaped like a turtle.

If you want fast paced, I'd suggest porn. They'll work you over quickly.
4
You should take a business course in Marketing. Before that you need to make sure about your wish and check whether it is your own and not influenced by some other person of any Program.
5
I really don't think there is collage courses to sell Avon products. You might try Public relations or Business sales if there is somthing like that.
6
Major in bussiness and see if you like it. In the mean time start selling avon (I think its like 10 dollars to join). There are no pink cars. However, I am sure you will find that you are not going to make as much money as you think. Avon does not provide pink cars or cars of any sort. Good luck in your quest.
7
Yeah! And if you get the pink car, you could come scoop me up after work hours, and we could be prostitutes together, and sell sex in the back seat for some extra cash!
8
Like the majority of the other people said you don't need a college degree to become an Avon rep at all. You can sign yourself up online actually on http://www.start.youravon.com and reference code lynettebledsoe Now if you want to take some college courses for your personal growth to help build your Avon business I would suggest some business classes for example marketing, entrepreneur, etc The woman who recruited me has been with Avon for almost 12 years and her focus has always been to help toher people start their own Avon business so if your looking for a fast way to grow in Avon I would say recruiting others people the minute you become a rep. I personally have been following her assistance for the year and a half that I've been with Avon and personally I have 100 lai\dies on my team and my checks from Avon every 2 weeks are $250-$300. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

What courses will help an English major in the business world
What courses will help an English major in the business world?
I'm graduated with an English degree and I've noticed a lot of companies I'm interested in require some business know how. I want to take some business courses but don't have enough time to attend college full-time. Would a business certificate from extension courses make the slightest difference on my resume, or is it better to simply get a bachelor degree from an online college? Or get an AS degree from a community college? I'm looking for the choice that would have the most impact on future employers.

Just take adult education courses in management, accounting, economics and/or finance. A lot of things can be done online. Local city and state run colleges are often less expensive and have flexible scheduling for working adults.
2
I would say at this point, a business certificate of extension classes would be your best bet-basically going back for post-graduate work.....meaning that you are taking a few classes not in an attempt to get a masters, but to improve your skills in the career world. I would take a few marketing classes if I were you. I have an english minor and am currently working in a marketing position while I am putting myself through grad school-and this job requires a lot of writing and my minor helped me get the job. Many marketing jobs require writing and of course your English degree would ensure that you are qualified for the writing aspect of the job, and a few classes would help show that you are learning about, and are interseted in pursuing further, a marketing career. Good luck!

In College are the courses Business Math and Statistics 1 the same?
I went to a college and took business math and passed I transferd to another college but they do not have business math they have statistics 1 and 2 instead. In order to take statistics 2 you need 1 first. Should my business math course from my other college be a substitute for Statistics 1 so I can jump straight into 2?

probably not. statistics is a very specialized course on probabilities and such. double check with a transfer adviser either at your current college or the one you are transferring into but i doubt it.

They might overlap in a lot of ways, but they're not really the same. You probably can't count out getting out of stats 1, but the class will be easier for you than people who haven't had other stats experience.

nope nope nope nope!!! Business math would probably be called "Quantitative methods in business" this involves lots of statistics, but also some algebra, and calculus. No way for us to tell you. Your gonna have to contact registration.

I would go for two options: BEC (Business certificate English). BULATS . Both are business certifications from Cambridge University Press, they are internationally recognized and they are for life. So I think these can help you in many situations.

I too have an English degree with writing emphasis - generally showing that you are capable of communication is the biggest advantage you will have while looking for a job. I have never had a problem getting a job based upon not having enhanced my education with business certification, but I have indicated in my application that I am willing to obtain such upon receipt of a job offer - and the company I worked for paid for the courses! There are too many people with business or marketing degrees out there, and not enough that know proper sentence structure or syntax, and more frequently large companies are looking for that ability to effectively communicate ideas.

You may be in trouble... Marketing is the least math-oriented of the major business disciplines. Most of the others, finance, etc, involve much more math and much higher degree math.
