[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Business is a safe major and pretty much guarantees a well paid job after college and lucrative career options afterwards

The young adults now who majored in business or attended an undergraduate business program are thriving post college. Some are in PE others are in investment banking or in finance teams at Fortune 500 companies.

Nothing guarantees a well-paid job.

The big question here is what a “business major” really provides.

If a business program really prepares kids to think, write and analyze, or to analyze new accounting rules: OK.

If old guys simply fill the students’ heads with the old accounting rules and BS about how business theoretically should work: That’s useless.

Also, if a student is really interested in business and studying business: Great.

If a student isn’t interested in business, would be studying it purely for the money or to keep parents happy, and isn’t brilliant, that’s probably not that useful. The student would be better trying to be interested in some and get business experience through student organizations, work-study jobs and internships. [/quote]
