Is "entrepreneurship/business" the new "art history" major?

I think it is still true that those who majored in rigorous non-vocational subjects, whether art history or economics, have better long term job prospects in management, finance and many other fields too.

<p>Yes, but remember that business gets more popular at less selective universities, while liberal arts gets more popular at more selective universities. The difference may be more due to the ability and motivation of the students choosing each type of major, rather than the inherent properties of the majors themselves.</p>
