MBA vs undergrad

Would I be better off getting a undergrad degree in physics or and MBA? I feel like these kids who major in anything involving mathematics end up with great internships early on in their life.

"Richard.5" You've already completed undergrad and are jacking yourself off to the idea of being a successful math major

He's thinking of changing his undergrad major on his resume to Physics.

Beware kiddos, for Richard's memory is perfect. He can smell bullshit five miles away, and is keeping tabs on everyone, which is why I dare not leave the protection of anonymity. Faster than a bloodhound stalking game, more determined than a bear sniffing honey, Richard WILL expose your lies.
