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.
personal finance book:
"be born rich and with good parents, lol"
"How to buy a house: sell the house you currently own, and buy a new one."
"How to get a job: have work experience."
"How to get work experience: get a job."
"We are looking for a recent graduate with a master's degree and with 5-10 years experience minimum "
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.
damn, and here I was, actually kinda interested in a Defence Against The Business Arts class
WTF I picked up a finance textbook and now I'm in debt for like eighty billion dollars?! And I have to buy the online portal code separately!? What a rip-off!
No reselling that book either young man
Unless its through the campus book store where youll get 20% of its value
