Bachelor's of Science in Business Admin with Finance concentration or Project Management concentration.

37 y/o, enlisted military, will retire in 3 years. I doubt I'll be doing either job type when I get out, but I need a degree to fill a block on my resume.

It might help if you told us what you plan do actually do

Figure out what you can do for a living. Learn what dice says they expect for that work.

Business degrees are shite unless you have an MBA and an "in" with a company. Even with the MBA it may not make a huge diff.

Finance/Accounting would be the best option for bus. though if you go that route.

Both sound terribly boring. If you're just checking a box study something you're actually interested in.

No clue... I've been a production superintendent in aircraft maintenance for most of the last 9 years, with some flight chief duty sprinkled in there... so probably some type of job similar to a production super.

Can I please hijack this thread momentarily?

I hate my job in purchasing. I got a degree about 3 years ago in Business Management. Been researching certifications and degrees I can get that are specialized adn will get me a better job.

What should i do?

The one requiring the least time and effort. Hell, if it's just a matter of checking boxes, get a psychology degree. If you're dead set on business, management or marketing.
