| signupsux, business majors are considered too vocational, whereas majors such as physics, classics, philosophy, biology, etc. are theoretical and more intellectual. Just take a look at the reading lists and topics that these majors cover and you'll see why they demand so much more respect.
You may have made that much money, but know that wealth does not translate into intellectualism. The entire goal of college is NOT career preparation. That's one the most dangerous perspective a college undergrad can possibly have. Some people just don't want high-paying jobs; they prefer to commit themselves to a life in the libraries. I'm sure a lot of the your professors can get an ibanking job if they want to... but some people just don't want to.
But please don't get me wrong. I think business majors are incredibly essential. I simply do not think it's as rigorous as the traditional majors. In the end, if you like money and business, then why not a business major? Just don't assume that money is everyone's end goal. |
