Proposal Paragraph
In the field of Business Administration research on jobs is that the job market and
internship is growing in hires. Research on the justification of jobs in Business Administration
has not been done before. Around 50 percent of students have found success in their job hunt.
Research will be found from multiple sources to give a better estimate of students finding jobs.
Also what the world has to offer, more than jobs hunts and internships. A qualification to find
this research is having Business Administration as a major. It is important for others who explore
this major to get a gist of what Business Administration offers. The major Business
Administration is important at this current time because it is the most chosen major over the
country. Its popularity is diminishing to other majors like Exercise Science and others. The types
of sources going to be used for this project are academic articles, books, and informative
websites. The importance of doing this research is to see all of the different jobs that are out there
for Business Administration.
