Business, the most useful, useless degree 😀
I’m dying roflmfao
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.
“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.”
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
Can’t help but feel like this was written and upvoted by people sitting comfortably on the peak of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
I fully expect this comment to be downvoted, but that doesn’t make it less true.
I mean, even assuming that business degrees aren’t a waste of money and time, learning things you would pick up working in the corporate world anyway, while not learning any creative or practical skills…
Humanities still make better general-purpose degrees because they actually teach you things like critical thinking, questioning your sources and their biases, self-examination, etc. Things that society needs now more than ever. From my experience of friends with philosophy degrees, the world would be a vastly better place if even 1 in 20 people had one.
Spot on.
Besides, business schools are also for students to make contacts and connections with people in the industry and their peers.

Never took a business class but I don’t think that’s taught at university.
They’re born with that ability.
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!
Explain plz
STEM majors like to make fun of business majors for having easier homework
STEM majors like to make fun of business majors for contributing nothing but frustration to society
ftfy
Business degrees are many college students’ backup plan if their degree of choice is too difficult for them.
It was a running joke at Uni that Engineering was pre-business.
Source: Failed Pre-Business major.
Our freshman class had 24 students planning to enroll with CS as there major.
Of that group 6 graduated with CS and 19 with business degrees. One Student thought it was a joke how easy it was and said “fuck it” and double majored in CS and business.
Business is one of the majors people make fun of for being a useless degree that teaches nothing.
But surprisingly useful to signal to hr that you aren’t just any moron, you’re their moron 💋
Bonus,
What they think they look like, what they’re actually like
The running joke at some universities used to be to direct people to the business school when they asked for directions to daycare.
