Im beginning to think that a business degree is a waste of time and money.?
I am currently pursuing a bs in management with a concentraction in accounting. my accounting classes are kind of boring but i like working with numbers and the like. i like my management, economics and marketing classes. problem is, i find those classes kind of pointless. i (well my parents and my loans) are paying a good amount of money for me to learn something i could easily learn from simply reading a book and following business news. i find my accounting and economic courses too easy. i don’t see the point of spending all this money to get a degree when most of the stuff in my textbooks is common sense. i kinda wish i was doing something more challenging…
I really think that the reason you feel this way is because you have not thought about the career options that will be available to you once you are done. I encourage you to research the career path you can take with this degree and then do internships in several of them in order to find the one that you are passionate about. To get you started I have included several links for you below.

Why don’t you change to the accounting major? Accountants will always be needed. They’re like nurses and doctors. The pay is also good.

Let’s be honest here. Bachelor degrees are now no more than a high school diploma. If you choose to go forth with your MBA, then you could be on the right track.
If you want something business related, or management related that would be more challenging try Management Information Systems or something more technical. Maybe that would suit you better!

I’m sorry to hear this. Maybe you need to transfer to a more demanding and challenging University because obviously you are a more rigorous college material student!
If you feel that this isn’t challenging enough, then you should look at your options and see if you can go to a College like Babson where it is in the top ten in business management. Also, check out NYU, the business school is excellent!
You definitely need to get a College Degree. Without it, you will not be working and getting paid like you should. Nowadays, the competition is really high and tough. Transfer to a better and more challenging University! You will not regret it!
Best of luck!
