Message: Hanisaherb, I agree with the short answer, however there is an inherent problem in the question needs to be addressed as well. The question implies that a simple choice made in your major will limit your ability to move beyond that definition. Your skills in your major are important, but more important are the other skills you bring to the party. For example, you could have a 4.0+ GPA from a top tier school with a major in Management - but that doesn't mean you can manage or lead. Too many people put too much emphasis on these labels. What is your skill track, which school did you attend, etc. And although these aspects will open some doors, it's what you do once your inside that will start to define your career. Ultimately it doesn??t matter what your major was, or what your GPA ended up being or which school you attended. It??s what you can do, and how you perform.
