I'm about to take business classes. I didn't do well in community college, because I never went, and now I'm buckled down and ready to actually do it. I'm more than likely going to take my classes online. I want to get a degree in business so I can get a great job with great pay and eventually, hopefully, start my own business. But what classes should I take for business? And what should be my basic outline to go as far as I can in school doing business?

Most business departments at the college level will publish a recommended course flow chart, where they show what classes people start with and where they go once class choices open up. You can get these from the business department...they may even be online with the school you're going to. Typically, biz majors start out with a course called "Intro to Business", where you become acquainted with many concepts and ways of solving business problems. There is usually a beginning accounting class, and a basic economics class. Mid-level classes go into things such as human resources management; financial management; organizational techniques and management; higher levels of accounting; and higher levels of economics including stat, often called quantitative analysis. A good business person will understand the political and social environments that they do business in...look for a class in each of these areas. Try to be well rounded. Use your experience in early classes to guide you as you move up. For instance, if you have a knack for accounting, it will be evident right from the first class....this will be a signal to continue. The same goes for the other specialties. Do your best not to be talked into taking classes in the wrong order because things you want are "full," or taking the hard classes before you are really ready. This surely will pull your gardes down.

Intro to Accounting, Intro to Finance, Managerial Accounting, Business Strategy, Operations Management, Entrepreneurship, Strategic Management, Taxation of Business Entities, and I'd recommend another finance course but it's up to you

You should talk to an advisor at the college you are going to attend and/or look at the course and college booklet. Most colleges have majors and course programs listed online as well. These will tell you which classes are required to obtain which degrees - you also probably have to take general education classes to get a well-rounded education and also prerequisites for the upper classes.
