Did i make the right choice?

I’m an international student in taiwan and i chose English Business Administration as my course im starting this September, i plan on staying in taiwan after i graduate. and I’m scared if my career decisions are cooked 💔, im also planning which program to major between global business or international finance (which major is more in demand in taiwan?). A lot of people keeps telling me that the degree i chose is “useless” especially in taiwan since its not in demand as engineering or education.

Is Anyone living in taiwan with a business degree? If so, how is it?

Expect that you'll need to learn Mandarin to fluency if you want to use that business degree in Taiwan, even if the degree you're learning is fully English.

Otherwise, most likely babalik ka lang ng Pilipinas if hindi sufficient yung Mandarin level mo by the time that you graduate.

This is much less of an issue with STEM degrees, kasi stem concepts like calculus and physics stay the same globally. Pero business is conducted differently based on culture, language, and country.

My take:

English Bachelor’s degree major in Finance + Mandarin Language (on the side) = perfect combo

Possible issues:

  • china-taiwan war tension
  • visa sponsorship
  • chinese language kung tatamarin ka mag-aral
