Major Redesign or Stick with the Biz (BBA)? Thoughts and Opinions

<p>Okay, so I'm a junior at MSU and have been working towards a BBA. In all honesty, I don't feel like I'm learning anything worth learning. The math in my business classes is as easy as 8th grade algebra and I see the same terms in books for HR/Marketing/SCM/etc. It's driving me nuts. I feel like when I get out that I could have learned all of this in 2 weeks, and that I may not even enjoy working for a corporation that is all about profit unless it's a really cool one (like Sony or something..) where I root for that company. </p>

<p>I'm thinking of applying to our International Relations program and specializing in film production. That way I'd be learning all sorts of great things that I could actually utilize in my own life rather than for a company. Also, it will (hopefully) set me up for grad schools in journalism/broadcasting, culture (history/anthro/etc), and even business. Same for careers, I just think it opens up more doors. I can even teach secondary ed, if I'd like. I'll have my business cognate taken care of too so I would be open to that area as well. I'd probably end up staying here, realistically speaking, about an extra year. Yeup, a fifth year senior. Not to mention the extra cost tagged onto it (clearly, I was raised business). </p>

<p>I want something that will open me up to a whole world of possibilities. I think business is limiting, as much as people would like to think of it as 'so secure' I think of it as dull and easy. </p>

<p>Drop some of your thoughts to this situation.</p>

<p>Note: I already posted this onto another board but would want to see other business majors' opinions. Do you think business is limiting? What grad school options are there for business? Idk feed me some good stuff.</p>

<p>I’m somewhat in the same situation. Although I love finance, I feel like the way it’s taught at my school dumbs it down way too much. We don’t get into a lot of theoretical stuff and it’s not very quantitative. My suggestion is to just stick with it and learn the other stuff on your own time. I am teaching myself intermediate accounting and want to learn some advanced/calc-based stat. If you can’t take more classes or don’t want to take chances with your GPA and are too far along the track to turn back, do it yourself. The library is excellent. Also, I highly disagree with an international relations degree opening up more doors</p>
