Is a Business course known as a mickey mouse degree?

I get the feeling it is. Am i right?

Sorry, this is the last of my threads today

This is coming from a family where all the working members of my family that have a managment position, have all earned it through experience.

I can't see how you can be a manager when you know no core skill or anything about the buisness you are managing.

My dad comes across these idiots everyday, they come straight from Uni thinking they know everything, but in reality they don't and they havent got a clue what they are talking about. More so in the engineering industry.

If you really have to do Buisness studies, then do it with another subject or ie Buisness Studies with blah or BS and blah, or even better A core subject with Buisness studies.

Why dosn't he just hire school leavers then instead?

thats a little harsh isn't it towards graduates..calling them idiots who don't know anything?
I think if you graduate, no matter from which uni you will definately have some knowledge. As far as you father is concerned he may have said that because he could have felt somehow intimidated by graduates, since as you you said he gained his position through experience not through studying a degree and he is probably far better than most of his fellows at what he does. but anyway my point is that graduates show knowledge and intellectual superiority of some degree over those who prefered to go straight into work after school.

please dont take this personally..just though your comment was abit unfair,
cheers.

You'd be better off taking economics. Harder but far more useful.

Nope my dad did do a degree, hes got an Meng in Civil Engineering, he is a Ceng and can be a Fellow of ICE (more than qualifies for it but doesnt see the point, already has a reputation). Hes got MICE tho, and loads of other qualifications and is a member of the charted institute of builders.

Im not refering to all graduates after, I'm refering to those who did Buisness studies, and have no knowlege of the subject they are dealing with.

Don't take it personally, you didn't know

Welll, my Mum has a Business degree, though this has been bettered by CIMA qualification, but she's a successful manager now, though experience is certainly important, but she worked whilst doing a degree.
