8. Real Estate Agent/Real Estate Broker
Real estate brokers and agents help people buy, sell, or rent property. The difference between the two is typically brokers are licensed to manage their own businesses, while agents have to work with brokers.
Though real estate brokers and agents are required by every state to pass a licensing exam, they do not necessarily have to have a bachelor’s degree to practice. All the same, business majors excel because many people in this field are self-employed.
