dont know what you want to be when you grow up? business major is broadly useful for anyone. everyone’s life would be improved by picking up a college textbook on finance, for example.
WTF I picked up a finance textbook and now I’m in debt for like eighty billion dollars?! And I have to buy the online portal code separately!? What a rip-off!
Useless information that is A. common sense B. easily searchable online or C. provided by befriending an actual business owner D. through work experience. Most of the degree is actually learning sociopathic tricks, like how to handshake or posture to intimidate
Business majors are pretty much destined to become dusty middle managers because they lack creativity or brains
Edit: Pro-tip, if you’re smart and pedantic at least pick law… Then you have some chance of helping someone. Business degrees are for failed entrepreneurs, they further entrench the notion higher education is a joke
I mean, even assuming that business degrees aren’t a waste of money and time, learning things you would pick up working in the corporate world anyway, while not learning any creative or practical skills…
Humanities still make better general-purpose degrees because they actually teach you things like critical thinking, questioning your sources and their biases, self-examination, etc. Things that society needs now more than ever. From my experience of friends with philosophy degrees, the world would be a vastly better place if even 1 in 20 people had one.
Of course, only to a very limited extent. It was discussed as a small part of our negotiations course, which to be fair, was very good and I have found it useful.
A significant amount of compsci angst post-graduation is caused by business majors and their lack of knowledge about what they’re managing. But the people who are currently students aren’t complaining about that actual grievance, they’re mostly bitter about other majors having more fun.
Also the fact that they get put in charge of everything and take all the money despite knowing nothing and mostly hurting the things they’re put in charge of.
brb, going to grab a minor in philosophy so I can make fun of them for being ultimately useless to greater humanity and incapable of morality, ethics or self-reflection
(every business major I know easily fulfills both criteria)
“Look to your left. Look to your right. One of you will graduate with a business degree. One will drop out. And the third will have traded their health and sanity to get bossed around by the first.”
Our freshman class had 24 students planning to enroll with CS as there major.
Of that group 6 graduated with CS and 19 with business degrees. One Student thought it was a joke how easy it was and said “fuck it” and double majored in CS and business.
