STEM majors like to make fun of business majors for contributing nothing but frustration to society

ah yes, comp sci majors. the most happy and fulfilled people there are.

A significant amount of compsci angst post-graduation is caused by business majors and their lack of knowledge about what they're managing. But the people who are currently students aren't complaining about that actual grievance, they're mostly bitter about other majors having more fun.

Almost like not valuing a craft (other than manipulation) leads people to value short-term gains over long-term growth and sustainability

Almost like this thought process is ruining the world

Also the fact that they get put in charge of everything and take all the money despite knowing nothing and mostly hurting the things they're put in charge of.

Good thing I've already earned the titles: Rockstar Coder, Front-End Wizard, and Multiple Hat Enthusiast.

Ignorance is bliss...

brb, going to grab a minor in philosophy so I can make fun of them for being ultimately useless to greater humanity and incapable of morality, ethics or self-reflection

(every business major I know easily fulfills both criteria)

Business degrees are many college students' backup plan if their degree of choice is too difficult for them.

It was a running joke at Uni that Engineering was pre-business.

“Look to your left. Look to your right. One of you will graduate with a business degree. One will drop out. And the third will have traded their health and sanity to get bossed around by the first.”

Our freshman class had 24 students planning to enroll with CS as there major.

Of that group 6 graduated with CS and 19 with business degrees. One Student thought it was a joke how easy it was and said "fuck it" and double majored in CS and business.

Your freshman class only had 24 CS majors? How small was your school?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

it was a small private college. i think ~2000 undergrads

Business majors picked their course of study based on their availability to attend parties.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 30 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Business is one of the majors people make fun of for being a useless degree that teaches nothing.

But surprisingly useful to signal to hr that you aren't just any moron, you're their moron 💋

Bonus,

What they think they look like, what they're actually like

It was the default major for our football team.

Business degrees have a curriculum designed for toddlers to make sure they have plenty of time to go to their frat parties on the weekend.
