My son is 17 and will be finishing up his bachelors degree this year. He doesn't have a clear career path in his mind, but after taking all his lower level business courses, he knows he doesn't care for accounting or marketing and enjoys learning about human resources topics. With that in mind, would getting his BS in business with a specialization in HR Management limit him in any way versus just getting his degree in Business Management? In my mind, a specialization tends to be a good thing, and is more likely to open doors than to close any. Then again, I have a liberal arts degree, so what do I know? Your thoughts would be much appreciated. He is hoping to make a decision this week so he knows whether or not he needs to take Accounting II
