I’m actually being sincere with this question, what do you learn? I imagine it’s not the same thing as getting an economics degree so, like, what classes are you taking? The actuaries and accounting people study mathematics so I just can’t connect the dots here, what are they doing?

You take classes on management where you learn about the different organizational management strategies, you take basic economics classes, you take corporate law 101 where you learn about contracts and whatever, you take finance 101 where you learn about compound interest, you take the most basic computer programming class where you pretend you understand anything about how programming works, you take marketing 101 where you learn how the US works, you take logistics 101 where you learn how to calculate a full truck load vs a less than full truck load of shit being shipped around at various costs, you take accounting where you learn basic asset vs liabilities stuff, you take trig -> calculus so you can understand anything at all about how chart go up sometimes.. there's a few more but i forgot them already

I went to business school because i took 1 semester of comp sci and nope'd right out of it and over into management information systems.

This, pretty much what I had in school, business admin degree. I got it because I wasn't good at anything else and needed to graduate in 3 years. Although I had more accounting classes than any advance math.

Thank you for your serious answer, seems to have some utility if you’re so inclined

Wait, you still need to get the Master of NLP certificate outside of school? At least tell me they made How to win friends and influence people required reading.

wasn't at my uni, but wouldn't surprise me if it was at others
