[quote=Anonymous]It’s a class thing. When a family has tons of money to cushion their kids, they can afford to look at college through a different lens than “immediate earning potential” or “major in something where you can walways find a job.” With tons of money to fall back on, college can be much more than a job-preparation process - it can be about curiosity and intellectual and personal growth. Luxury items for those with fewer resources …. If kids from wealthy families want to go business, it’ll be at a higher level, and they won’t have to fight as hard to get there. Parents’ connections will help with internships and job leads. And they’ll go back in a few years to get an MBA. Preferably from Stanford or Harvard. So why waste undergrad on a low-level business major? It’s completely unnecessary and signals thirst. Among these circles, a “business” major is low-level and tacky. There’s a reason it’s not even an option at many T-10 schools ….[/quote]
