You are so pathetic, it's disheartening.

Wow THAT'S RIDICULOUS...

...where is this money going anyway?

A master's in CS after ecology? I'm surprised that they even accepted you into their program.

9/11

Derp I was looking at the wrong column.

It's $76k and $60k vs. what I previously listed, which is $100k vs. ~$85k.


Oddly, still around a $15k per year in favor of economics, while 1~2% more employment in favor of business (depending on graduate or undergraduate).

Regardless, I still wouldn't write off business as a useless major. Right now, the worst thing to major in is architecture. Even a painting or drama degree will find you more work.

That just goes to show degrees and job possibilities is more related to the economy, rather than any value a person gets out of it. Architecture isn't easy by any means, since you have to have courses in calculus, engineering, art history, etc.

Economics is a better degree than Business because it requires a fluid understanding of maths. No idea where Georgetown is but in the UK it is far better for employment and is one of the best degrees to graduate with. Also, near enough half my degree is solid degree level maths (bsc) that wouldn't go anywhere near any business degree.

And business doesn't require a strong understanding of math? I don't know what kind of Mary Poppins program you have over there, but in the U.S., business majors are required to take calculus, economics, stats, and philosophy/ethics. I'd really like to see your numbers regarding the benefits of majoring in economics over other degrees.

Georgetown (the university that got the statistics for what I posted) is one of the oldest universities in the country. It's up there with Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. Former president Bill Clinton graduated from there. In other words, it wasn't some derpshit survey with sketchy sources.
