A girl could get through any major without the help of a guy, all depends on what kind of integrity and work ethic they have

2. It went sort of that way in engineering too, any attractive girl (weren't many in engineering, trust me) got "preferential" treatment from most of the other male students when it came to help, etc. I mean, engineering is probably only 2nd to physics when it comes to percentage of "nerds" in the discipline, and you put an attractive girl in the class and they can get whoever they want to do "help" with their homework.

Edit: I am not insinuating that the women couldn't pass engineering that got help, just saying they got help.

LOL at the engineering folks coming in here bashing business. Who makes all the money in the world? It's not engineers, its people involved in business. I'm not going to sit here and say the material is harder because I've never taken a lick of engineering, just as you've probably only taken entry level business courses at best, but you can have your mythical superior degree while I'm rolling in CASH MONEY.

1. What I stated is fact, most people who dropped out of engineering and went to business graduated with 3.5+ GPAs. They couldn't hack Cs and Ds in engineering, but got As and Bs in business.

2. Every engineer I know that went back to school for a MBA joked about how the master's level business classes were like taking sophomore level engineering classes.

3. You don't know what business classes I've taken. With my 2nd degree in math I took a few senior level financial (accounting, stock market, etc) business classes, and they were pretty easy.

4. Look at starting salaries, business/finance/accounting average starting salary across the nation is around $45k. Engineering is around $56k and as high as $64k for chemical engineering. So while a business major, if they are lucky and amazing at their job may one day get promoted to high lvl management like CEOs, etc and make a ton more than engineers, the average business major never does. The average business major will, over a lifetime, make far less than the average engineer. That's a fact. The salary ceiling is higher for a business major, no doubt, but the statistical averages lies with engineering.

I'm not trying to be a prick, just stating facts. I took some junion/senior lvl business classes in my time and they were on par with freshman/sophomore lvl engineering classes at best difficulty wise.

Oh, and if you REALLY want to get into the "CASH MONEY" discussion, those with BS degrees in engineering and MBAs are the ones really making the money. (FYI, not me, I have a MS in engineering, work in research, don't want/never want to go the MBA route).

Thats prolly b/c the Fortune 500 is made up of publicly traded companies (or private companies who release earnings) and not individuals.

Really, well I know the exact opposite. A lot of people I know went from being engineers to business and completely flopped. They had straight A's in engineering, but could barely hack C's or D's in even the most basic level of business.

Isn't anecdotal evidence fun?

No, Fortune 500 is made of companies, not individuals. It doesn't mean both "noobshit". I'm surprised OSU would take someone as dumb as you.. or are you at a branch? Companies are made up of people from all walks of life.. not just businessmen.

Now I know Akron is mostly known for engineering..and im not sure about CWRU, but Akron is also a top 100 business school. There are thousands of schools in the U.S. The top 10% or less is pretty good to me. Just because they are not in the top 50 doesnt mean they are a dogshit school.

Fortune released a list of the richest people in the world, it's also called the same thing, Fortune 50 usually.

And companies are entities, they are essentially people without voting rights. Stick to your golf and mythical superior degree, I'll stick to making BIG CASH MONEY STACKS $$$$

Forbes lists the richest people, I've never seen Fortunes. Either way, you specifically said "Fortune 500" which is the top 500 companies.

Given current economic conditions, if one is paying their own way, I'd argue that an MBA from anything but a top tier school is likely not a great investment.

You obviously didn't major in history .

It was JFK that said "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".

I think its the Obama/Reid/Pelosi/socialist version as you said it "what your country can do for you..."




I do noticed however, that you quickly backed down from the "business majors rule the Forune 500" or whatever list though huh?
