Should I minor in business and Fashion design

Jensmom7, BSN, RN · Dec 14, 2015

So I'm really thinking since I'm not fully kicked out of the nursing program (I may just have to go to the other program an graduate semester late), well at the other program you still have time t do other things and take other classes, so I decided to minor in business and fashion design! I can make a whole line of scrubs if I really wanted to! On top of making my own scrub line, I really want to start my own specialty, but idk if I'd have to major in business for that. Thoughts?

Ok, you already put yourself a semester behind by failing a class. Now you're thinking about adding in a minor when you go back? And then maybe a second major in business

Sweetie, you need to focus on one thing. You're all over the place right now-you should sit down and figure out what you really want to do, whether it's in nursing or business.

Those are both tough routes to a degree. Don't set yourself up for failure because you couldn't see that.

First of all, I've had plans of minoring in business but being in the program at the campus i got accepted to, they wouldn't allow it. SECOND of all, the nursing program at the other campus I may have to transfer to is only like 9 hrs max/semester, which leaves me time to complete other desires so yeah. Plus anything math related has always been my strong point and to get a minor in business is only 15 hours...15! So with that being said, the sky is not the limit. the greatest fail sometimes. I'm officially about to minor in business and still graduate in 2017...it'll just be in December instead of April. Welp.

You don't need any degrees if you want to create your own line of scrubs and sell them. Business courses are notoriously useless for those interested in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs learn by planning, trying and failing, and an enormous amount of determination, creativity, hard work, and belief in themselves; not from taking classes.

I would suggest saving the money you have to spend on business classes for starting your business and maybe get a book to entrepreneurship. Learning fashion is probably more beneficial than taking business class because you need a great product first to succeed.

True, but i still think I'll end up taking a minor in business. I have too many ideas with what i can do with that and a major in nursing
