Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time in college getting a crappy business degree. Either get a science or engineering degree or go home. Also, if you're looking to impress people with your intelligence go math or physics, because everyone knows engineering = p*ssy version of math or physics.
Bad day?
haha i use to feel this way when i was in high school -- i told people i only study the purest of sciences: math. but now it's w/e, people should study whatever they're interested in.
relevant xkcd:
that's now how censoring a word with an asterisk works homie
EDIT: (now = not)
Unless you are studying at a good university such as MIT or any decent business school in Europe where they actually teach you math and rigorous business/finance/econ theory.
Edit: Why the downgrade? I partly agree with the general theme of this post.
Do you people realize that first year Business/Econ students in just about all European universities do more rigorous quantitative courses than math majors in the U.S.?
something something if European schools are so rigorous and smart then why aren't they outperforming US schools by significant margins
First of all, rankings aren't just based on how rigorous a curriculum is... It is also based on $$$ and marketing. U.S. has more of that. Besides, the U.S. gets shat on in Finance Master's programs. Second of all, show me a ranking where the U.S. outperforms Europe.
A first year business (not even Econ) major at the average business school win Europe will teach multivariable calculus, linear programming and calc-based stats. Thats second year material for math/engineering majors in the U.S! Even Econ majors at Harvard don't have to take linear algebra let alone multivariable calculus!
Yet Brits run their mouths in meetings and deal calls but can't get shit done 99% of the time
I disagree - much better to get a 4.0 in business and fill out the rest of your resume with quality projects/work experience/sports than struggle to get a 3.8 in math and not have the rest.
Obviously it would be better to have both but there is only so much time at college and taking a more rigorous course load will just hamper your ability to do the rest since you are not only learning more difficult concepts but also competing against smarter people.
The curve works in your favor if you are the smartest in the room, why not take advantage of that?
Omg all of you please take the butt hurt fest over to College Confidential or GMAT Club or something
