Actually, 48% of all MBAs have an undergraduate business degree. In fact, at HBS 22% of applicants have an undergraduate business degree followed by 21% with an undergraduate economics degree (which is Ivy league kids that didn't go to Penn and majored in the closest degree to business). Those are the two most popular undergrad majors. |
+1 some people's perception of a business degree is outdated by 30 years. |
a lot of 17/18 yr olds don't even know what they want to major in or do for a living |
Exactly. I think it's a weird criteria. Especially now with so much being online or virtual. Agree the schools have connections with local companies near colleges. But I know plenty of people who work in DC or NYC from UF or UGA etc. |
No YOU first! |
Did they start their careers in DC or NYC? If my kid were to go to UGA I would tell them to expect to start their career in Atlanta because they probably have access to better opportunities. |
Both started in DC. One is commercial real estate and one is PR |
| Issue with UF is business has a lot of online classes. |
