What’s the difference between business law and business finance majors?
I’m a senior in high school and I’m interested in going into business so it would be great to hear from someone who has majored in either one.

I am an attorney (currently inactive as I no longer need to practice). Business law is not a good undergraduate major. Both entrepreneurs and corporations have their legal matters handled by attorneys. Business law is not a good pre-law major as it concentrates on specific matters which are covered in law school at a much more advanced level. The best pre-law majors are history, classics and English as they teach the critical reading, thinking and writing skills which are required in law school.
Business with a concentration in finance deals with the financial aspects of business–raising and investing money. It is fine preparation for an immediate business career or an MBA degree.
