Very if you actually plan on an advanced degree or grad school. It may be worth nothing if your plan is a Mc Donald’s position.
This is what I keep responding to…the apparent idea that your first year can be screwed over and it won’t matter.
The OP seems to have a decent head on his shoulders after he explained more about himself, but some of these comments are still off.

In no way can your first year be screwed over and won’t matter. I hope no one actually believes this. However getting high 60s to low 70s isn’t going to kill the majority of the students out there. I agree that if you are going to post-grad, then yeah maybe it can effect what happens.
Now a days I do believe that schools look more for progression than overall grades too, taking into account all grades except freshman years are high.
Freshman at UW-Madison, my priorities are 1.Grades, 2.Guns(weightroom), 3.Girls. keep it simple, do it all right and in that order.
How did this thread turn from smushing bush and getting shitty to a bunch of twats getting crusty over this kid wanting to rage?
OP, get of the fucking internet and go find some drunk skeezers. They want to suck you off no matter what they say at first.

Everyone that says otherwise is a douche. The kid is having fun. Obviously you can party too much and not get shit done and be a loser.

If you think business is an easy major you should probably have taken some business classes to dispel that thought. Although, I am at a high level school for this major, I have absolutely zero experience with how it is at any other school. Several of my brothers are physics majors and I generally have more work to do and more studying to do. I am not trying to impress you. Just sharing my experience.

‘General Business’ is what all the frat guys take at my college (which is a fairly well known business school). They all take it because it’s much easier than a real major.
And don’t give me shit for not taking business classes, since i’m in two right now, and have taken about 8 already. Several of the business classes i’ve taken are hilariously easy. But i will give you that a couple have been difficult.
Also, then response i get when asking what they are going to do with a general business major : “Uh… i dunno nervous laugh” OR “Probably work at my dads dealership” (Don’t understand this one?)[/quote]
I quoted X because I was specifically responding to him… Do you go to Bama? I always fun when I visit. I am studying International Business and over the summer I interned in Boston at a pretty damn good place to work, I think I am doing pretty well.

Hey is a degree from the University of Phoenix actually worth anything? A failure friend of mine has been taking online courses and insists that it’s going to count for the same as mine… and I have trouble seeing that.
anyone know?[/quote]
Absolutely NOT!! I did 2 fucking years of it and it was waste of time and money. I am going to a REAL college now and not one of the credits transferred. I have to start from scratch but oh swell it is better then those diploma mills. The key is with that most employers know of Penn state, Notre Dame and those type of schools. Now my school offers both online and in class courses as most schools do that now. Congress is looking into the “For Profit schools” business practices now. Make sure you check the schools accreditation too.
With regards to “shit” majors… I am told (for the particular college I am at) that people who can’t handle engineering become biz-econ majors, and those who can’t handle that become comm majors. I do know of one guy who dropped out of computer science and went into biz-econ. So there may be some validity to this ordering.
Anyways, take that for what you will. I have no idea how highly ranked my school is for business FWIW

It’s funny to me that business is getting bashed on when, at least at University of Texas, it is the HARDEST school to get into bar none. [/quote]
That is absolutely false. It is definitely a great school, but it is in no way the toughest to get into. I may apply to McCombs if I can keep my GPA up.
The world needs ditch diggers too

I am a finance/bio double major. Yes, bio requires more studying. NO, business is not easy. [/quote]
True.
How hard it is to get into a school doesn’t have that much to do with how hard it is to graduate. Nor does the salary. It’s just part of the reason the education is popular.

Seriously, I’m never coming home. First night on campus and liquor pours almost endlessly, drunk chicks hit on me, I get to watch some guy projectile vomit down the hallway into an elevator, I play my first hardcore game of flip a cup, I see 110 pound girls drink like sailors with no sweat, people trying to piss in vases etc.
I get in at 3, get up at 6, head to class, do my work during the day, and go right back at it. Also, thanks to you guys, getting wasted and taking my shirt off gets me winks from the sorority girls, rather than getting pointed and laughed at. At this point, I dont’ understand how anyone could NOT want to go to college.

I remember my first beer too.
Why is everyone trying to convert someone to what they did? Why waste money? Why waste time? Why, why, why.
People are gonna do whatever the hell they wanna do…there’s always gonna be people who advance stay sharp in school and have fun, and there’s gonna be the guys who just fall off the wagon. Who cares? We need people like that anyways, that’s how the world runs…what would happen if everyone had a great degree and a lot of money…a lot of small shit that seems insignificant wouldn’t get done.
USMCpoole…I think you misunderstood my statement entirely. McCombs is the toughest school within University of Texas to get into. As in, it’s harder than the UT engineering school. I was not saying it is the hardest to get into nationwide for business schools. Just to clarify.
For undergrad programs that is.

my first weekend at college a kid on my floor almost died from drinking, the ambulance showed up a couple more times the first month…
The OP sounds like he won’t be at college for long, and if he does make it through, he’ll end up with some shit prize-in-a-cereal-box type degree, complain about how the economy sucks and no one will hire him when he gets out. And the day that he DOES get a job, he’ll show up everyday with the mentality of doing the absolute minimum to keep from getting fired, then he’ll get fired, say that the boss was a biased asshole and end up working at a pac sun clothing store, make it to a managing position and pull $28k a year.
This mentality plagues a majority of our college students. Basically everything that was “cool” was based on drinking…uh, I dare you to fucking grow up? I dare you. You thought it was awesome to see a guy projectile vomit into an elevator? wow dude, wow…

Well said!
Ok I feel better after reading this whole thread. As a business major myself I was worried a little bit. But I think the key with getting a degree in business is doing the MBA after. At least thats my plan and I have heard good things from the people who have gotten their MBA.

Why the hell do some of you throw little hissy fits every time a discussion breaks out…as if we aren’t supposed to be discussing certain topics?
If you don’t like that a discussion about college breaks out…in a thread about college, why continue reading the fucking thread?
Why bitch and moan as if we aren’t supposed to talk about it?
This is a discussion forum, right?
Care to provide a detailed list of what we actually can talk about?
^^Not Rasturai, but since you asked…
-
Puppies are great!
-
Double rainbows – what do they mean?
-
On the relationship between bodyfat percentage, shoe size and brand.
-
…
I give up, attempting to be funny is too hard.
