Comments on: How come business major is much more popular than economics major? http://www.rubabataineh.com/economics/how-come-business-major-is-much-more-popular-than-economics-major Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:14:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Chuckles http://www.rubabataineh.com/economics/how-come-business-major-is-much-more-popular-than-economics-major/comment-page-1#comment-6689 Chuckles Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:04:59 +0000 http://www.rubabataineh.com/economics/how-come-business-major-is-much-more-popular-than-economics-major#comment-6689 Because so many more people want to take business than economics, because economics is harder. My Canadian daughter started in economics at SFU in BC and graduated in the US with a dual major in economics and political science. She is doing great in grad school now and is on a fellowship in DC right now. Its taken to her to the White House and CIA already. She used those degrees to get into Technology Management in Transportation and has been offered a free doctorate at a famous UC school in California. She will be making highway policy for the USA. While a business degree starts you in mid management at a corporation. My point is that economics is a "big picture" degree and generally takes you to different places than a business degree. In my daughters case, an economics degree is taking her to the top levels of power in the government. A business degree would mean she would be working as a low level administrator. A business degree can be lucrative but economics takes you to power more quickly. But economics is harder.<br><b>References : </b><br> Because so many more people want to take business than economics, because economics is harder.
