Let’s ignore the fact that you’re making generalized blanket statements like “degrees are good in business”. Are you fukking retarded? Wtf is even “business”? Because I know you’re not talking about entrepreneurship. What then is business? You mention the corporate world so be more specific. Business doesn’t cut it. You talking biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, banking, perhaps information technology? Who the FUK knows what your dumb ass is talking about, I sure as fuk don’t.


To say where you went to school is more important than anything to an employer sounds like something a first year college ******* would say because they are ignorant of the world I suggest you hire an excavation crew to try and locate your head and remove it from your ass.

Business is anything that falls under a University's School of Business, dumbass. Here's a link, in case you are still confused.

I suppose I'd probably eat a revolver before I'm in my 30s tossing around childish insults on the internet because someone doesn't agree with my opinion.

So your last paragraph basically confirms my suspicion that you’re a starry eyed early 20s piece of sht. Come back to me when you take the training wheels off, Sony.

I remember those stats in HS too. True, but misleading.

- Degree choice makes all of the difference in the world.
- Survivor-ship bias. Fails to take into account those that tried to get a degree spent 40k and failed.
- Present value of money. Particularly as it relates to debt payments and missing revenue.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ANY PERSON NEEDS TO KNOW... YOU ARE ONLY WORTH AS MUCH AS IT TAKES TO REPLACE YOU.

Jobs that require more skills, more intelligence, more training, higher difficulty, more disgusting... They all pay more.

As an early 20 something your goal is to acquire a skill set that has a high demand with moderate to high barriers to entry.

Many degrees do not grant you a skill set. These degrees have extremely poor ROI.

You don't have to stay in that position forever. Also, its better than working retail with only a H.S degree.
Accounting (as someone with a degree in it) I can say it is a pretty mundane degree. There are specific standards of logic applied here but it isn't that amazing. It is mostly reconciliations and finding errors in what idiots (data entry clerks) did. I spend majority of my time trying to automate things to get rid of the need for data entry clerks.

cheap?
