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
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
brb, going to grab a minor in philosophy so I can make fun of them for being ultimately useless to greater humanity and incapable of morality, ethics or self-reflection
(every business major I know easily fulfills both criteria)
ah yes, comp sci majors. the most happy and fulfilled people there are.
A significant amount of compsci angst post-graduation is caused by business majors and their lack of knowledge about what they're managing. But the people who are currently students aren't complaining about that actual grievance, they're mostly bitter about other majors having more fun.
Almost like not valuing a craft (other than manipulation) leads people to value short-term gains over long-term growth and sustainability
Almost like this thought process is ruining the world
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.
“Look to your left. Look to your right. One of you will graduate with a business degree. One will drop out. And the third will have traded their health and sanity to get bossed around by the first.”
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.
Your freshman class only had 24 CS majors? How small was your school?
it was a small private college. i think ~2000 undergrads
Business majors picked their course of study based on their availability to attend parties.
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
It was the default major for our football team.
Business degrees have a curriculum designed for toddlers to make sure they have plenty of time to go to their frat parties on the weekend.
The running joke at some universities used to be to direct people to the business school when they asked for directions to daycare.
