The Blossoming business of back to school!

Back to School is here again for some and on the way for others, either way it's here and it's at full force. The business of back to school is an ever thriving metropolis and this will only get more profitable for all those involved in the future. As long as education is touted as "the only way" to survive as an adult, the back to school business will have an audience of over 10 million people in all age brackets. We'd say this is a hell of a great business to be a part of.


But who are the leading companies in the ever blooming business of back to school?

Well, we did little digging and found that going head to head for the lead sales of back to school items are Walmart and Target! Coming in for close seconds are K Mart and Old Navy They completely dominate the back to school arena in almost every state in the United States. However, for those who don't have the time to go to the local department store and shop, they opt for the online shopping mega house Amazon and even Ebay.

Of course, we have the Amazon hook-up for all those who prefer the shop online option as well as for those who are now looking to explore it, ad why not with all the free shipping at this time, we think this is safely the better option of the lot!

Social science and humanities majors don’t make any of the lists of top majors. But they need not despair. Several other charts in the report show that 40 of the 200 employers are planning to hire communications majors, 33 will hire economics majors, 14 are planning for psychology grads and eight hope to hire English language and literature majors. Social work ranks at the bottom of the social science list, with only seven employers planning to hire from that field and “area & gender studies” is at the bottom of the humanities list with a mere one employer looking for that major.


Two Forbes pieces I highly recommend for humanities majors to consider: George Anders’ July cover story, That ‘Useless’ Liberal Arts Degree Has Become Tech’s Hottest Ticket, which details how booming companies like Slack Technologies are eager to employ people with theater and philosophy degrees who can write clearly and think creatively.

That said, if you want the surest bet for landing a job with a big company after you finish undergraduate or graduate school, stick with the majors in the three charts above.
