    Many Grads with that degree don't have a job in hand coming out of their last year. I guess some are happy working in HR with that degree. IMO, working towards a MBA is logical.

    That major is a generalized major. In other words, it can be used in a ton of different jobs. You could use it to be the manager at a grocery store or a manager at a pharmacy. So that's actually a pretty smart major to have considering it's wide variety of uses compared to a specialized major.

    BTW, an MBA may be very nice to have on your resume, but it will be very unlikely the key to a job. Many jobs that REQUIRE an MBA also require X amount of experience too. There aren't too many companies looking to hire a rookie that merely has a "degree" just for that "degree". Yes, high dollar positions sometimes require a certain degree for consideration, but that's rarely the ONLY consideration too.

    IMO a generalized 4 yr degree will be the most usable IF you don't have a specific career path chosen because it's the most flexible major.

    The smartest thing to do is to chose a major that will compliment your career choice. So picking a career choice FIRST and then picking a major is the way to go IMO.
