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.


But it was from a study in a single region with a limited pool of graduates.

Look at this article, http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/jul/18/graduate-employment-by-university-and-subject#data , specifically the data under "Employment rates by level of qualification, mode of qualification and subject of study". My degree Economics and Maths BSc would be under mathematical sciences, business under Business & Administrative Studies. Employment rates are higher, at least in the UK.

Business doesn't require degree level maths understanding in the UK, just accounting (add,minus,multiply,divide) and basic AS level calculus (differentiation, integration, maybe a few others). Economics does, because you need to understand multiple regression analysis, econometrics and game theory which are derpshit hard. Most economics courses require A level Maths to apply whereas Business only requires GCSE level understanding for undergraduates.

Who really gives a shit? You don't even have the degree yet and it's undergrad. Please stop spamming the forum with your butthurt nonsense.

as long as the money goes to help the victims and family's i dont see any problem with it.

if it goes into a few pockets and not to the victims then yes i have a huge problem with it.
