[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For an undergraduate education, a business major is completely useless. I don't know why people waste time with a degree in business.[/quote]

+1. Because a degree in "business administration" is basically useless. If you're smart enough to get into top schools, you're smart enough to major in econ, finance, or something specific.[/quote]

You realize business majors also have concentrations?  Why do you post when you know nothing about the topic?[/quote]

I know a good bit about the topic, as I currently have kids in college and have had this discussion ad nauseum.

I'm not paying $80K a year for a degree in "business administration." The concentrations mean nothing. Good grad schools want to see a BS, not a BA, with a degree in economics, finance, etc. You know, something that requires higher math.[/quote]

If you ‘know a good bit about the topic’ then you’d know that many business programs issue BS degrees for their business undergrads. Kids take a year of economics, a year of statistics, a year of finance and accounting - at least, plus other topics like data analytics. You sound ignorant and actually uneducated  [/quote]
