Sorry, but that’s just wrong. Completely, wholly wrong.</p>
<p>Examining universities with which I am familiar, business majors at UNC (a business program at least as good as Georgetown’s) simply do not have as direct access to the top jobs in business as Duke econ majors do.</p>
<p>High schoolers tend to vastly overstate the value and importance of a business degree. Heck, I’d say an engineering or math degree would look better than a business degree. People with quantitative abilities are in demand.</p>
