Business majors are freaking stupid!

[yung Herbie Hancock]

You really aint saying shyt. If you say it is not "real calculus" then say what is real calculus. Cause i remember going to my engineer friends and they said the same shyt I learned in that sophomore year class is shyt they covered in their freshman year.

Youre dissing psychology for what? It has applications for behaviour finance which is what I ultimately want to get into (Investment Mgmt).

But forget it cause I aint one to go back and forth on forums.

Here you have a youngn actually tryna catch some knowledge and what do you do? Spew out bullshyt and try to condescend? For what?
No wonder everyone makes fun of engineers on campus. Ol chip on the shoulder ass nikka
I always thought you were a decent poster b (based on your help in the gym threads)

The guy has a point. There's a HUGE difference between business calculus and plain calculus (you know, the one that future scientists and engineers have to take). You don't truly understand calculus unless you've taken the one tailored towards scientists and engineers. Oh and psychology requires almost no critical thinking. It's one of those faux sciences. I found this page on IQ by major, coincidentally it follows the same trend as OP's GMAT to major post.

notice how physics,engineering,economics,finance, and philosophy are still at the top (the GMAT scores also show this trend).

What difference is it with most engineers failing their courses and getting bumped up anyways? Like I said, I've taken other math courses that were not business driven and I peeped what the engineers learn. It's tough as hell, but not some shyt that any body who applies himself can't learn. For what it's worth, I'm a finance major

We're stupid, but guess what, when you work for a company, guess who started it...a business major

Isn't that the problem though brother? We have men in suits who golf for a living, making hundreds of millions of dollars while others make the product.

I say enjoy now because I truly believe one day human beings will wake up from this nonsense way of doing things.

It'll never happen. And it shouldn't

It's happening now.

ARE YOU TRYING TO START A fukkING ARGUMENT, BROTHER?

because that's how you start an argument!

Who's comparing shyt to Engineers though ?

Blah blah, we all know theyre the cream of the crop. Fact of the matter is that they have a ceiling and still end up working under us (without that MBA). We sit in them meetings yall wish yall could be in.

Take it from my dad. A civil engineer for Canada's largest engineering firm.
Nice smiley btw

realize, however, the CEOs of companies like Google, Apple and Intel all have engineering degrees/backgrounds.

you need those technical critical thinking skills, or else you have a ceiling in tech. not saying business-only majors don't have those skills. its just not a fluke that the largest companies in tech have CEOs with engineering backgrounds.

i said this numerous times already bruh. thats what some of the disrespectful trolls in here cose to ignore

I didnt say that it didnt matter. I probably coulda worded my post better earlier but meh. Calculus is especially important for Finance and Economics (not accounting at all). I have said at least three times that I sincerely wanted to know...and you got all malicious .

Did I diss engineers or math anywhere in this thread?
Alan Mullaly, Tim Cook, Stephen ELop (went to my school) are all engineers with their MBAs and now they are CEOs. 1 of them has turned Ford around during the Automotive Crisis. One of them turned a company into the most valuable corporation ever. And another...well we wont talk about him .

All I was trying to say is that you can be the smartest dude, know more math than anyone...but ultimately you can still end up on the outside looking in (kinda like my dad who wishes he went to Law or Business school). Or end up working for someone who's much less competent than you.

An Engineer with an MBA to me >>>>>>>>>> anyone. And as far as undergrad...an Engineer >>>>>. I wish I was an engineer during my undergrad but in highschool I just wasnt and still aint into science like that (although I was good in physics). As far as the "real" calculus shyt goes, I was learning what Engineers learnt in their first year of school like I said in the earlier post so . All youre doing is spewing out foolishness. I say I see how Partial derivatives, differential equations etc affects me but according to you, I say none of it affects me.

Feel free to drop those studies if you come across them.

The reality of this problem is quite simple.

How can an individual who's 17-25 truly know what they want to do for the rest of their life?

Honestly what does someone who's under 25 really know about life. Most people at 18, think they know everything. Yet most are still in the primitive stages of constructing analytical thoughts.


There's need some type of outlet for young adults(beside the military) to engage themselves in, before making a life changing transition into "real" adulthood.

How long will I remain in this primitive stage breh?
