Vinnyli: As far as I’m concerned, people in business school are pursuing careers business. Why else would they go to business school? Wanting to pursue a career in business, rather than some other field, narrows their job market. There is no denying that the breadth of desired careers is much greater amongst a CAS graduating class than a Business School graduating class.

CanuckGuy: “This is not the first time I have encounter this type of reasoning, if you can call it that. My concern is that if folks do not grasp the concept of %tages, how are they to understand the concept of limits? If we do not understand basic calculus, how can we understand the physical world around us?”

I think you meant “encountered”. There are ways to understand the world other than calculus. I understand percentages. I’m insulted if you think I don’t. So yes, by your logic, Business majors are more successful in making CEOs, but as I have said before, there’s more to the equation than this. There is more to thinking than numbers.

Anyways, I think I’m wasting my time posting in this thread. Everyone here is obviously a business major who thinks he or she will land a Wall Street job upon graduating. Have fun pursuing your worthless degrees and finding a job in our defunct financial market.
