Business majors are freaking stupid!

[ATearInMyEye]

I am majoring in Information Technology and Administrative Management(ITAM). I know things about computers and I felt that a program like this can help me more than say a Psychology/Liberal Arts Degree. Aside from some of the courses in the curriculum which contain some networking,website constructions and projects in database, whats a good Certificate to support that?

I'm always shocked at how so many engineers seem to not care about the empirical reality. They seem to be so qualitatively driven. I wouldn't trust an Engineer like that with any projects.

I'm pretty sure business majors are the majority of CEOs and bosses in corporate America.

I cant say I'm too surprised at that statistic. Business studies is usually made up of a multitude of topics ranging from Marketing,Accounts, Economics. There's probably a lot of qualatative writing arguing pros and cons of something with a side of statistics even in US universities like UK ones.

But the GMAT is different, its pure Maths and English at a senior school level (and American maths and english at that) and is optimized to be harder as you score more on the test.

Some people go away 4-6 years study business and maybe work 2 years and take the GMAT and are hit with this pure maths and english of a US cirriculum level and they may struggle at it.

I know being a UK business student and having taken it, it was manageable but a very difficult adjustment. I thought the english side would be straight forward but even then you have to agree/disagree strictly the scope of the passage's argument and at GSCE/AS Level/even University you were always trained to present essays with pros and cons and dependent aspects and draw a conclusion.

So yeah it can be tricky.

Good site thanks for posting that.

Whatever, I'm a business major and I scored 97 percentile on the GMAT

What schools did you get into with that bro?

lol you believe him?

 

[Prodigital]

I just graduated last month, over half the graduating class were MBAs. Really a shame that so many people get that degree just to manage a mcdonalds and what not.

 

[alybaba]

lol you believe him?

And that's after the test center lost power for a minute during the math section - the PC was on, but I couldn't see my work paper. So, kindly fukk off.

My apologies. Lots of people here tell ducktales so it's hard to believe anything anymore.

Good job on the test.

when to a conference yesterday titled "Chartered for Finance"

anyways, i had the chance to speak to two Professional Engineers who then went for their CA, CFA, or MBA or a bulk of them .

Both of them said that they loved their work as Engineers for Bombardier and Hudbay Minerals but just knew that they didnt wanna do it for the rest of their lives. They simply needed to be on the other side of that door...in the board rooms, communicating with consumers/clients etc.

One went into Equity Research and then back to his firm in Corporate.
One went to i think PWC and was in its Corp Finance division and then went to Scotia where she is now.

And from the horses mouth itself, without even a question to prompt the answer they all said it was getting their MBA and CA designation that really taught them the business knowledge they required blah blah blah.

Engineers can bullshyt if they want, just dont be mad when that ceiling hits you :shrug:

 

[Reality]

Nonsense

You seem to be insecure about your pseudo business major

Aren't you some low Ivy/Duke alum who does i-banking in Charlotte

I bet there are engineering grads from your school doing more "powerful/influential" things than you , even in finance which is your industry

You used to post on Autoadmit right? Did you know the guy who coded the site is worth like $50-100M now? He was a CS major at MIT and made millions coding for a startup that went big
Oh and he's URM (black)
Oh and he's probably about your age, not even 30 yet

Not saying that this story or your stories prove anything but at trying to discredit engineering

What's dudes name?

 

[Zach Lowe]

What's dudes name?

You can probably google him based on what I already said
I don't wanna blow his name up on random forums that have nothing to do with him
