Question: Friend says a degree in Business Administration is pointless? I have a friend that says a degree in Business Administration is pointless. He is pursuing a civil engineering degree and can't go a day without harping on my choice of study (Business Administration). \n\nHelp me out... How can I show him (stats/facts) that it is not pointless to pursue a business degree, and ultimatley an MBA in today's society?

Answer: Have you checked the Occupational Outlook Handbook? I would have to say that your choice in an MBA is much more practical and adaptive than a degree in civil engineering. You will have so many more options when you graduate than he will.\nIt's all about where you take the degree when you're done. English majors can be millionaires, too.. :)
