[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A degree in business administration (worthless)  is completely different than a degree in accounting or marketing (useful). There are about three different conversations going on here and some of you are too defensive to notice.[/quote]
they are not mutually exclusive. I have a bachelor's of business administration and majored in accounting.[/quote]

I think what they are trying to say is that a generic Business administration degree where there is NO focus required for a specific major (ie. Accounting/finance/marketing/data analysis/etc) is not worth as much.  I know at my DC university, most  Business majors get a focused BS in one of 10 areas.  However, a kid can still graduate with just a bachelor in Business admin if they don't maintain high enough grades for their "major" classes---they just get the generic degree then and I would argue that that is not very meaningful, especially when an employer can easily figure out that the reason for the lack of FInancne/Accounting/Marketing degree is that they lacked at least a 2.0 in the "Finance specific courses".  Then again, the low GPA will also be a huge issue for getting the first job as well
