Wow holy crap some arrogant engineers and business students here.
Did you all you business majors here that all the Liberal Arts majors are getting your jobs now? Thats kinda what happens when every 3rd person takes business.
Engineers think they are the be-all, end-all for careers. Would be completely boring for me. Nope I will stay with my Poli Sci thank you. Besides I don't want your regular job anyway.

I'd argue with you, but I'm not one of those arrogant business students. I actually agree with you.
There was an article in the Herald last week (I'm assuming that's what you're referring to peter12), about MBA's horrible reputation in the business community - that they're very arrogant in interviews, or, if they're able to charm people in the interview, they turn out to be ***holes once they're hired. Liberal arts majors are able to think better and have better research skills than these cookie-cutter individuals. It also said that BComms and MBAs are fairly comparable.
But yea, nothing wrong with a Poli Sci or Econ degree whatsoever.
Nothing wrong with the BComm either - I'm actually happy with my choice going in there, it's definately something I'm interested in, and relates closely to what I want to do with my life. But like you said, it's all about the person and how you're able to use the skills you learn in university. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a doofus.
