      @@MyentaBartlett If you are trying to be an entrepreneur, you definitely dont need to go to business school. However, going to business school will give you a lot of business values and strategies that would definitely help you if you want to be an entrepreneur (you also might learn these values eventually from being an entrepreneur without going to business school, but going to business school will definitely help with that). In my opinion, the true value from business school is the connections (and friends) you make.

      @@MyentaBartlett I don't know when people will learn this lol. Business school is not to become an entrepreneur but yes it will be helpful because you learn some entrepreneurship modules. Business school makes you "manager", it gives you knowledge for managerial positions like Director, Executive, MD, CEO etc of the company.

    I just graduated with my bachelors of business administration and let me tell you it opens so many doors to so many jobs, in my last year companies would come into all of my classes trying to recruit students for jobs. Now I work for an accounting firm, I get messages on LinkedIn literally almost daily for different jobs in the business field that they want me to come work for.

      1. Investigate transfer policies before enrolling. Every college has published policies indicating what transfer credit it will accept. Take these policies into account when choosing where you want to graduate from.
      2. Choose a transfer-friendly school.
      Colleges commonly accept between 15 and 90 transfer credits, so it’s worth shopping around to find a college that will accept all your transfer credit.
      3. Know where you’re graduating from.
      Colleges evaluate transfer credit based on their requirements, not those of your previous school.
      This is the important tip!
      4. Stick to general education and elective courses.
      Most colleges require that students take major-specific courses from their schools and nowhere else. If you’re planning to transfer colleges, hold off on these courses.

    I understand your point about school not being everything and how you have learned more in the real world than school alone, but think about what got you to where you are now? Had it not been for school and your degree, you would probably not be where you are now. School opens new doors for us.

    You are speaking from your own subset of business students. One thing you should have learned was to segment markets. Your personal opinion, as a "marketing professional," should count as just 1 point of a larger sample. I am not taking anything away from your drive, but anyone listening should know you represent a subset of all students. You should have also learned in organizational behavior that a team is made up of diverse people who provide valuable and unique input to solving problems, so you don't fall flat on your face. Again, not taking anything away from you, but you're exhibiting quite a bit of hubris. I suggest you look up the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    learning to start a business within a field is something you'd just learn within that field right?
    so what isssss a business degree
    if I'm in architecture don't I learn how to run a firm through my growth in the profession (job experience, shadowing, internship, generally just looking at the example of my predecessor)
    wouldn't I learn the marketing and financing of architecture in the profession?
    so why would I ever go into a business major
    to be an entrepreneur is to provide a profitable service / good to the community, and this is learned by taking an interest in that service / good itself!!
    so idk it sounds harsh but a business degree seems like a bs degree bc its not learning an actual, quantifiable thingggg haha
