Looking to add a minor to my degree plan. What do you think?

I am currently getting my B.S. Business Management. I have been tossing around the idea of add a minor to my degree plan. I have narrowed my choice to down to 4 different options. Which one would benefit me the most in general as a leader/manager in the business world.
1. Adult Education and Training
2. Human Resources
3. Management
4. Throw out the idea of a minor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Definitely pick an area of concentration that will benefit your career goals post-degree. Something with a tech twist would also be beneficial. See if the offer anything like business systems, office automation or possibly something that gets you certified in PMP.

I would guess HR and management would be a help

SPC Chad Kolod It depends on what you enjoy and want to target.
Not Management, that is already included in your degree.
I vote Info Tech if you want to leverage your tech background.
Adult Ed and Training if you want to teach or target teaching.
Human Development is the closest to Health Care.
HR if you want to target HR type of tasks...

Congratulations on the schooling. Well done. If given the opportunity I'd advise a minor in organizational leadership. I say that based on my experience in the public and private sectors as the key missing ingredient. However, given your choices I'd recommend the closest thing which I view as Human Development (assuming it looks a lot like leadership topics).

Best of luck on your studies.

Finance might be a good option, same with Information Systems Management. Management wouldn't be a good idea because you're already doing business management, HR might be good.

My under grad degree was Business Management with an emphasis on leadership. From there, I went to law school. Looking back, I would have stuck with business management with a minor in english. It is shocking in today's business world how few people can properly speak and write the english language. Regardless of how technology has advanced, humans still have to interact with oral and written communications. That is just my opinion for what it is worth.

Human Resource have been known to be a high demand area. You can't go wrong with HR.
