school help: Screw a major in economics, why is there not a business major here? - Help.com

Well, US Universities are ranked the higest in the world (18 out of the top 20 universities are in the US). Econ requires math for a reason - because math is a useful skill. If more Americans were better at math, then we would not be falling behind Asian countries in certain technical fields. That being said, I totally agree that 50,000 a year for tuition is ridiculous. I would suggest transferring to a less expensive school that has a business major. Most universities have a business major. You might also think about studying abroad, as foreign universities can be quite a bit cheaper, and international business experience is becoming more and more useful.

lol, well I suppose it should follow that high schools cater to the requirements of college so that the stratification between elite and average/sub-par high schools doesn’t intensify, but the problem is that they don’t and students end up losing. I’m not against paying for college, but it’s a shame when you want more than you’re getting.

Word. Most valuable business experience can be gained in the “real world” anyway. Why not finish at a cheap school as a business major, get some business experience, and then go back and get your MBA later? A lot of companies will pay for you to get your MBA, and you can study nights or weekends while you work.
