my cousin is vp at a large bank and refuses to hire team members who have business undergrad degrees. she'd rather see them study something deeper and more interesting and then pursue an mba later.

What's the point of 4 years of general education, and then working for Starbucks as a barista LOL
I graduated with a communications degree and waitressed for about 2-3 years after graduating. No Starbucks back then lol. Bad mistake !! If I was 18, I’d be in college business classes soaking up as much information as I could to be marketable, practical and have a career that leads to work to live, not live to work.
What happened after 3 years?

This is my experience. Really smart but not as interested in finding a career that fuels their passion. More practical and frankly, interested in making money. Which is fine. Supporting your family is nothing to be ashamed of.
+1. Agree. My son and nephew are business majors. Both smart, top of their HS classes, athletically active, involved in community , well rounded. My son follows all professional sports, politics, economic trends, current events, loves history. He can talk about all of these topics with his friends, family and other adults. Throughout HS he learned all of this on his own. With the ease of internet, we can learn history and many subjects on our own. My son is doing his own humanities research. He’s interested in business, is in his college’s business program and is deciding between accounting or finance. He likes it. Is it a passion? No. But he wants to be marketable, get a career started and be able to have a decent income. We are middle class and he sees how we really need to watch our money and be careful. He wants a little more. Not a bad idea. I went to college to “save the world “ and ended up having to go back and get another degree to survive economically.
Choose finance

Smart people can finish a PhD in 4 years and it is miles ahead of a masters degree.

Finance, Econ, math, statistics, etc.
