The world doesn't need a another communications or business major.
Truer words never spoken, although a business major from the right school does mean you're paid for life. What the fuck do communications majors even do?
Not necessarily. When people think of business majors, they typically think of Patrick Bateman Wall St. assholes, but business actually teaches a lot of life skills many college graduates lack. Before you get into your concentration you have to take the basics in everything.
Accounting- Teaches you how to manage your income/expenditures/savings. Many young people are very bad at this.
Economics- Micro is all about how to get the most bang for your buck, "Utility." Macro is all about how the world economy works- Individuals, corporations, small businesses, governments, various regulations all together living the dream.
Marketing- How to sell yourself or your product.
Management- How to plan your life. Tons of stuff about how to start a business, working with customers and suppliers. Budgeting to make a profit. This can work for business or personal settings.
Obviously if you are super passionate about something, like art or history, then you should major in it, but business from a decent university is a great platform to develop life skills.
