I'm not saying people shouldn't go to college, I'm saying you shouldn't major in business because you won't learn anything.

Hell, if you aren't going to major in something useful like a STEM, you might as well study a liberal arts subject that you enjoy.

Business seems to be the default major for people who went to college for the sake of going to college.

Really, that's the only way? I must be doing something wrong because I've gotten several summer internships and a job lined up at a major semiconductor manufacturer without doing any of that.

You seem to be living in the 1950's where you think people who graduate highschool can go and start as a lowly worker and work their way up to president of the company.

I mean that in today's overpopulated and overqualified world, surviving without a degree requires extreme luck, extreme intelligence or very hard work(much more than simply going to class and passing exams for 4 years).

Except they do, all the time. Both in project management and operations management. I graduated from a Big 10 school with a BS in Business Admin (major in Accounting) and I started as an assistant PM for a top engineering firm in Chicago. My roommate did the exact same thing and got a job running a team of technicians at Lockheed installing systems in the F-35 in Fort Worth.

Most Fortune 500 companies hire people straight out of school into their management pipeline. Most of these people majored in a business field. They take people who majored in engineering too, but they're less common as engineers usually apply for entry-level engineering gigs out of school instead.

Good on you for getting a job offer. is it an engineering job? Unless your company raises engineers into supervisor roles with experience, you're most likely either going to need to move laterally or get business education to move into jobs where people report to you, as opposed to just crunching numbers all day.

Total money wasted a month according to your post: $105

>$105

If you used this 105 dollars to buy two bikes in a junk yard, fixed them, painted them and sold them to random mexican drug dealers, you would have made at least, AT LEAST, a 100 bucks. And that's only a month.

Let's see:

I pay $10 on the trashed bike.
I spend $40 fixing it.
I sell it for $80 to $100.
Your profit margin is 50%.
If you invested 10000 on your bike fixing business you would have earned $5000.
If you reinvested those 5k in painting equipment and wholesale parts that cost 20% less, your marginal costs would drop and your profit margin would raise.
Let's say you now have a conservative profit margin of 48 to 58%. You would earn ~$5300 now.
Now let's say you use that money to buy wholesale bike structures that cost half of the price of the scrapyard. And that you also save $5 from removing rust.
Your cost is now $32 dollars and your profit margin is 60 to 68%. That's ~$6400.
Let's say you know hire someone to fix them for you. Let's say you pay him $9/h. Your only cost now is $20 with the parts, plus a fixed cost of ~$1300 a month.
With a profit margin of 80% now minus your employee's wage you earn $6700 in profits each month.
If you reinvest at least 30% of profits each year, and that the investment increases your margin by 2%, in 2 years the expected market cap of your company will be worth $7.475.160.000 (seven billion, four hundred seventy five million, a hundred and sixty thousand United States of America Dollars) which is more than the GDP of Monaco.

>Not surprisingly, many more corporate hiring managers are on the lookout for engineering or business majors, according to the survey by Millennial Branding, a research and consulting firm, and Beyond.com, a career advisory website.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2014/05/20/new-study-is-no-degree-better-than-a-liberal-arts-degree/

I am guessing that sociology or whatever isn't far off from the hiring rate of liberal arts majors.

>> No.883792

>>883766
There are many many many liberal arts major degrees, so you can't say that sociology blanket is "better" or "worse" than all of them.

Also that study is biased because it didn't look in companies that are tailored toward liberal arts people. Schools and design firms obviously hire more people with those kinds of degrees.

As for sociology the data is mixed but:
>According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage of sociologists was $72,360 in May 2010. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $44,000, and the top 10 percent earned more than $129,870.

The best thing is to take ample time to unwind and not constantly flooding yourself with information. You need time to progress and more importantly to think for yourself. Reading is important, but in moderation. Contemplation is at least as important, and plainly doing nothing as well. People get their best ideas when they're just fucking around, not while they are constantly engaged in goal oriented activity according to a strict schedule being constantly obsessed with spending every minute 'productively'.
