Interesting because I have seen on DCUM where people claim that getting an undergrad in business is low-brow, which being from a low-brow background, I did not know previously.  Apparently, high-brow kids who are interested in business get a B.A in Economics and then go on to get their MBAs. [/quote]

Those are mosty the kids who went to a school without undergrad business or weren’t able to get into the business school. When that happens, the school usually recommends economics instead. [/quote]

That's not at all true. Economics is harder than business. Economics majors do better than business majors on the LSAT, GRE, and GMAT.

It is often true because business schools have limited enrollment and can’t take everyone. So they will go the economics route instead and look to the MBA. Thats not to say some students don’t choose economics from the get go. However we were talking about students with an interest in business.
