<p>Is it really worth all the time and money it get?</p>
<p>I'm thinking specifically marketing or finance, maybe economics. Is there even a point in just a BBA? What're your prospects with just a BBA as opposed to something like finance, economics, marketing, or entrepreneurship?</p>
<p>For some yes, for others no.</p>
<p>Vague questions get vague answers.</p>
<p>To give you a serious answer though, I believe there are better options out there than a business degree, those being:</p>
<p>computer science
engineering
applied mathematics</p>
<p>In regards to a BBA degree without a concentration, you would be better off getting a degree in humanities. In both cases you’ll be pretty poor, but at least with a humanities degree you’ll be able to effectively communicate your plight to other people</p>
<p>Worth it compared to what? If you’re comparing it to nothing, then of course a degree in business is better than nothing. But what other alternatives are there if you don’t do business? Business vs. hard science/math/engineering? Can you handle the latter? Do you attend an ivy league/top 20 school?</p>
<p>To find real value in a business major you need to go with accounting or finance. A minor in something like information systems adds a lot of value as well.</p>
<p>Stay away from entrepreneurship, marketing, and management if you are looking for the best value. Also, just a general “business” major without any level of specialty should be avoided.</p>
<p>Unless you go to a top 20 school (pref. an Ivy) stay away from economics unless you are going to also major in another subject as well. Economics is very weak by itself (unless from a top school) but can be a very good major to pair with another major. For example, economics and math or economics and finance can both be very good combinations. </p>
<p>As InMotion12 said:</p>
<p>computer science
engineering
applied mathematics</p>
<p>All are very good, especially the first two. I am not as familiar with the benefits of applied mathematics. I would imagine it could lead to actuary work?</p>
<p>You discipline all depends on what you find interesting, your strengths and weaknesses, and what you want to do with your life.</p>
