Think about what you do for fun: if you are the one who collects and writes down the money for something for the group, if you like to sell or persuade, if you organize plans with your friends or if you are intrigued by how products get from one country to another.
Then decide what you prefer to work with: with accounts (Public Accountant, Finance), with people (Human Resources), with the State (Public Administration) or with products and moving them (Logistics, International Business).
If you are torn between Business Administration and Public Administration, think about whether you see yourself in a company or in a State institution, and compare the courses. The career test can help you break the tie.
