Anyone else discouraged by the current trend for so many young people choosing business majors? The objective of business is to make money- these students are blatently choosing that as their objective. Many people with other majors will end up in the business world, but will also have pursued another passion. The breadth requirements for business majors thankfully require at least some science and humanities/social science or it would be a trade school. This generalization doesn’t consider all of the majors in a business school such as accountant and actuaral science, both of which require a true interest/ passion to complete.

It is always a compromise between passion for knowledge in a subject and practicality. “Jack of all trades and master of none” - there’s a reason that phrase lasts. Philosophy and math are more closely related than many think- no wonder philosophy majors do so well on the GRE.
