Business majors are freaking stupid!

[MMS]

So were all supposed to go into STEM huh

tbh my freshman intro class had 160 folks

right now theres only 23 of us left

at the end of the day, STEM majors will weed out those who dont belong

so no, id say folks should play to their strengths and perform to the best of their ability but please dont speak on our rigors :cheff:

 

[Serious]

ill tell you the real issue with young folks right now, is its not even a major issue

its the fact that people are in school not because they want to learn, but because its what they are "supposed to do"

so you have so many half ass people going through bogus majors that used to be respectable and its saturated. In fact theres been studies that many majors/classes have lowered their standards in order to keep graduation rates high

its a sham breh

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.

Nah just be "strong" in your field of study.

Isn't Psychology a stem major though?

Social work, sociology, liberal arts etc is a bunch of bullshyt. Too many peers going to college just cause its the thing to do. Some people are forced by their parents; some just want the college campus life experience. But shytting on Psych (as a whole) is a bit excessive.

Same with me though, I dont get is the people that pay to go to school and still dont even take full advantage of the opportunities presented. No co-op experience, skipping lectures/not studying, not joining clubs. Just going there, earning crap grades, getting the degree and then working a shyt 9 to 5 as a Target Manager that doesnt require any education in the first place.

PS: What's with that cheff smiley?

Depends on the school and the field of concentration.

For example at UCLA: Psysch majors have to take
1 year of General Chem
1 year of Physics
1 year of Calculus (non business / social science)
1 year of biology

This is a respectable STEM major ^^^^

The sh*tting on psych is not excessive, the over saturation of people majoring in it, then demanding jobs, seeing it an easy degree to obtain, is. There's nothing wrong with obtaining a "liberal arts" degree for intrinsic purposes. College is for internal development, not job placement...

Yeah this is stupid

 

[daze23]

don't we have a college sub-forum?

 

[Zach Lowe]

I'm not sure if they're stupider in significant ways compared to other majors but they're definitely more lacking in substance (imo)

and the majority of top 20 colleges don't offer a business major so that might affect the stats (and economics gets a boost from this because it becomes the substitute)

there just seems to be too much $$$ in this game right now for any real change to occur

everyone going to college is the new norm, what realistically is going to change that?

thanks :cheff:

I think you missed his point breh, although he didn't state it that clearly.

He's saying that while engineers are smart people, they often lack the interpersonal skills to communicate and work in certain situations. They often can't communicate the significane of technical jargon to the laymen, sound familiar? He's also saying that there's a certain entrepreneurial mind set that engineers don't usually have, because theiy're so equation and formulaic minded when it comes to solving problems. Basically, he means thinking outside the box and being creative and making emotional appeals. Often times big decisions are made on things more emotional and "gut feeling" rather than based on equations and mathematical formulas.

So instead of looking down on him because he didn't take "real calculus" you could have explained the differences and collaborated, instead you took the petty route...nice interpersonal skills

That's too bad, now you just sound paranoid.

 

[TheBigBopper]

They're freaking stupid but they get dat money

That's too bad, now you just sound paranoid.

every project i have is with 5+ people or more

i also have mandatory letters of transmittals on every project i do

like i said, youre both wrong

and very uninformed

i dont blame you tho, the average person looks at a math book and assumes anyone who is good at it must like just like it: cold calculated and unemotional

no pictures

Don't mind him breh.

I dont want to be validated. I come on this forum for 3 things.

1. To learn (whether its about new music, from advice about general things in life or even sports)
2. Entertainment (ie. the tomfoolery that happens from time to time)
3. To discuss things I'm interested in with others (music, sports, women and etc)

But engineers apparently have the ability to know the motives of posters they've never seen, or heard just by viewing a computer screen. I only know 3 people on the coli in real life so theres no reason for bravado, lies or tough talk when theres no incentive or repercussions. I just keep it real
