Why Undergraduate Business School.

Wow, that’s some idiotic reasoning. Just because a liberal arts major has as much success as a business major does NOT mean that a business degree is useless. It just means that a liberal arts education offers something just as good as a business education. If you consider a business education useless, then you can also consider a liberal arts education useless because they have equal footing.



Since a LA education is not supposed to provide you a high level of business knowledge, I fail to see how a lack of business knowledge would make an LA education is useless. If you come out of English lit and not end up with any more English knowledge than a Sociology major, then obviously English lit is not very useful.

See, here’s what you’re not getting. If you have to test a drug, you test it against a placebo. If the two are equally effective, then the drug is essentially useless, it’s no better than an illusion. If undergrad business degrees land you with no more business success than a liberal arts degree, clearly it holds no use, as majors with absolutely no connection to the field you’re studying can do as well as the you.



Now, I’m SURE you are not going to tell me that students at the top business schools cannot pursue PhD’s in Economics, Statistics, and Mathematics, or a JD.



Cannot? Not really. But please, tell me how many top Sociologists do not have an undergrad background in Sociology.
