I’m in the process of enrolling for my first semester as a freshman. I am currently a business major but also really into philosophy lately.

“If you want to succeed in business, don’t get an M.B.A. Study philosophy instead.” - Matthew Stewart, “The Management Myth” (The Atlantic Monthly, June 2006).

I agree with the philosophy part, but I think I might want to also take an MBA afterwards.

Business Major Philosophy Minor, or Philosophy Major Business Minor for my undergraduate? What do you think?

I just choose Philosophy because I think in other humanities majors, you are just studying what people have achieved, learn the old principals and techniques and apply them what people before you have not applied properly, were not lucky with it or were lucky with it. Philosophy on the other hand, teaches you what I call the original recipe of success and your own identity.
