okay business majors i have had enough

okay so. i am not a degree snob AT ALL. i respect everyone or going to college. with that said i have to let you know i am about to offend a couple of you all out there in cyberworld.


come, come business majors. pull up a seat and bring your old buddies marketing and communications majors. okay ladies and gentleman let me ask you. WHY are you such snobs? i EXPECT YOU to make dean's list EVERY SEMESTER. why? because all you do is memorize, spit it back out and write papers and do a couple group assignments. okay, i am not saying that doesnt take skill but umm..... most people in college can do that. where the REAL SKILL comes in is sitting through that boring mess. so why do you expect me to make dean's list every semester? in my field a 3.2 is decent. in your fields if you come in with a 3.2 you're the bottom of the barrel. see the difference? there's a reason that everyone and their mother becomes a business major after their attempts at chemesry, biology and engineering fails. it's because when you graduated you might as well have a bachelor's in a SURE THING. yay to getting paid less than your average bank teller with 2 years experience when you have a degree. did no one tell you that unless you're male, white and went to a top 10 business school and have your MBA or your daddy is CEO of some big company you have a long road ahead? so, you can most def redeem yourself with numerous internships: those are the folks who have dreams and will make it far. i know a bunch of people like that. i respect them. i see their hard work. they are brilliant and intelligent and probably could do what i am doing with as much ease. business interests them and it's a passion. but i am aiming this post at those business majors who dropped out of their other program, switched to business and just quit caring. now you may say: Leah where's your internship. I admit i should have had one and since i am not giving you all excuses i wont tell you why i havent had one but i WILL say this. internships for math majors are NOT as bountiful as internships for BUSINESS majors. so take your condecending comments, your aloof looks, and your pretentious ideas and shove them in your business books. you're more than welcome to pull them back out when you make it to a fortune 500 company in a top position.

you're welcome to the attitude when you pay your dues.
