[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was not really ready during the college search process ... wants to transfer to a “better” school ... finance and accounting double major.[/quote]

I'm a business professor, and my perennial advice is that business can be a bad unfocused undergrad major.

I took my first accounting and finance courses in my M.B.A. program, and had no idea they were academic areas.  How the hell does a freshman want to major in these fields without taking a single course?  Why does this student want a "better" school?  What does "better" even mean?

My charitable interpretation is that your kid made a bad decision and chose a school with poor opportunities.  Now she wants to get her shit together with an employable major.[/quote]
My charitable statement is You must be a stupid professor at a useless business school.  So, until you did the first level Finance and Accounting courses in your MBA program (so, that was your first semester) you didn’t know they are academic areas.  How the hell did you even decide to do MBA in the first place?  What courses did you think would be taught in MBA program?
Signed, MBA with majors in Finance and Strategy.  [/quote]
