dont know what you want to be when you grow up? business major is broadly useful for anyone. everyone's life would be improved by picking up a college textbook on finance, for example.

Useless information that is A. common sense B. easily searchable online or C. provided by befriending an actual business owner D. through work experience. Most of the degree is actually learning sociopathic tricks, like how to handshake or posture to intimidate

Business majors are pretty much destined to become dusty middle managers because they lack creativity or brains

Edit: Pro-tip, if you're smart and pedantic at least pick law... Then you have some chance of helping someone. Business degrees are for failed entrepreneurs, they further entrench the notion higher education is a joke

Never took a business class but I don't think that's taught at university.

They're born with that ability.
