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.

Reddit refugee defends MBAs

Can't make this shit up. Seethe and cope

Not knowing the difference between a business major and an MBA illustrated my point perfectly. Nice job!

[-] LemonLigger@lemmy.zip 15 points 11 months ago

There it is, the seethe! MBA is by far the most common business degree. Try again ๐Ÿ˜œ

Ah I didn't realize you weren't being serious. My bad. Make sure to use a /s next time to avoid confusion!

Typical, appeal to confidence when YOU misinterpret something ๐Ÿ˜†

I have an MBA from a prestigious school, and an MS from a state school and this meme is 100% 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.

They do all that at their frat parties while spiking women's drinks.

I donโ€™t need an IQ above room temperature to see business majors are even worse off.

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

They're born with that ability.
