    Let me tell y’all something! I went to business school and graduated, I started as a liberal and became radicalized half way through my schooling. I have a degree in business management from a 4 years university. One of my favorite moments was when one of my finance classes decided to debate whether “water is a human right”. And i was amongst the small minority who fought furiously for it’s RIGHT.

    Not only is she extremely wrong, Elon has made terrible business moves and it should be used as a case study of what NOT to Do.

    And lastly, yes business school can be a joke, especially when you’re surrounded by a bunch of coked out students who all think they’re the next Elon Musk. These people saw the wolf of wall street and thought the main characters were “inspiring”. Anyone who’s gone to business school knows wtf ethics are, yet THEY’RE NEVER applied within the US to say the least.

    Business school courses are the only subject where i could bullshit and wing presentations for a high grade. The most challenging classes were finance, business calculus, and accounting. I enjoyed economics because my last econ professor, a very staunch capitalist, was quoted as saying “no one understands capitalism better than Karl Marx” and would often cite him. I began to use Marx in my economics essays and my professor often gave me a high grade. But my favorite part of his course was when i showed up LATE AND HIGH AF smelling like weed to his final, where we needed our laptops for this part of the exam. The professor approached me to hand my exam, and after taking a huge whiff of the weed i was reeking, he then noticed my socialist sticker with an Angela Davis quote and made the most stank face I’ve ever seen. LOL i ACED his exam btw.

    Edit: i also enjoyed business law, it was fascinating to me and i often enjoyed the torta in which corporations were held liable for their BS.

    I graduated, and work self employed now. I am now back in school studying music. I’m doing half time classes while going to work and my half time music classes are twice as hard as my full time business courses. it’s not even a debate.

        I had similar experience! I graduated in business management! All the people I worked with in groups thought they were the next wolf of wall st.

      They made all the engineering students in our school take 2 business courses, I stupidly took business law because i thought i would be useful and all my friends did the bullshit leadership course. Like I still remember desperately trying to get through the thousand page textbook before the final while everyone else was in the common room doing improv to prepare for their "exam".

      I tried doing an accounting degree this fall. But I could hardly attend a class named "business and their fonctions" which I could only describe as a pure ideology class.

      We had to learn what traits make a good entrepreneur, what is the name of the strategy of laying off people, etc. I'll let you know that having an initial capital to invest in your business was not an answer.

      All I wanted to do was a degree in non-profit accounting and that stuff was barely even mentioned. I dropped.

        The subject can be very overwhelming because it's so desensitizing of human subjects. It's why j stuck to Marx, Ethics, and Business Law as a means of using good subjects to counter against it. But it didn't happen overnight i had dropped out and returned just to finish what i started. I returned as a Marxist tho, so I'm thankful for that.

        Next to Central American studies (taught me about imperialism towards my own people.) Business courses radicalized me so fast.
