[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With just a few exceptions, an undergraduate degree in business is not valued.  Major in English or Philosophy then get an MBA. Employers want people who can think and write. Minor in marketing if that interests her.

Our country desperately needs professional, real journalists. It’s hard to make it but critical to a healthy country. It’s important work but I can’t imagine how maddening it is to compete for clicks with all the trash bloggers pretending to be journalists.

Kids change their majors all the time.  Let her explore and figure it out on her own. [/quote]

You are wrong.  MBA is someting you would consider much later after you had a real career.
Business progams are harder to get in, and they get recruited first.
(for universities with undergraduate business programs, ie UPENN UVA Cornell Notre Dame MIT Georgetown, etc.)

School prestige matters more than STEM field for business.
However you would really need school prestige for majors like English Philosophy.

According to my honors college director sister, you are wrong. I trust her more than you. [/quote]

So you trust info form one source.
I trust myself from various sources altogether. 
You are wrong.[/quote]

One source who is a Fulbright Scholar and spent 30 years in higher education over rando internet guy. Yes, I do.  [/quote]

She's still wrong. 
She spent her time just in higher education, not in actual industries hiring.
