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

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.

[i]According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for people with a business degree is $65,000. That’s a bit higher than the median wage for bachelor’s degree holders across all fields, $60,000.[/i]

Money aside, what I wanted for my kids was an education that would enable them to understand and appreciate the world in its entirety, while developing excellent analytical and communications skills.  In that sense, a business major is useless.  It's not so much about education as it is about well, business.  Making money.[/quote]
