I know this girl who is graduating pretty soon and majored in general business.
I know there are some good business schools out there that actually teach you and feel like you learned something but I think the business curriculum at my school is pretty weak (I just looked up the requirements for the degree/curriculm.. and it's a joke)

When I took business courses such as marketing and management.. I got good grades but at the end of the day, I felt like I haven't learned a thing. Those classes are really worthless IMO

I wonder how it feels to go through college like that.... sure you come out with a college degree but it was so easy and there's nothing worthwhile retained in the brain
She'll probably end up as my boss anyhow :[

IMO the the most important thing you learn in college is how to do research, figure out problems and come to logical conclusions based on research and problem solving. A large percentage of graduates do not end up in the field their major was in as a career.

i didn't learn much in college either. i lost interest in my major field but i continued with it anyway.

however, i don't consider college being a waste, as i did learn how to live independently and to enjoy life and diversity. :)
