Just to add, many of the schools in my area now call it "Business Administration" as opposed to just "Business" Degree. On a personal note id still take my chances with accounting over business administration.

Yep, it is a business administration degree in accounting/finance/management/marketing/economics/computer information system at where I went to school, Northern Arizona University.
I was just wondering, everyone says to not major in liberal arts, well it seems that it's not a good idea to study business either.
just like the advice that comes and goes over time (I think I have lived long enough to have witnessed it three or four time in my lifetime) to be a nurse, be a teacher and then everyone lines up to become a nurse, to become a teacher and before you know it the jobmarket is flooded with...yep, you guessed it, nurses and teachers and as the rule of supply and demand has it...not enough jobs for these college grads either.
I think the hot topic job button and rage these days is...the STEM education, well I wonder if that's ever going to go out of style...not for a very long time I suspect.
Best regards, sincerely

6 Things You Didn't Know About STEM Jobs and Students
Interest in left-brain fields is growing
The report—Where are the STEM Students, What are Their Career Interests, Where are the STEM Jobs,—pegs the STEM interests of one million high school students in the United States and documents how their interest correlates with the STEM workforce to come in five years.
I think STEMs will be important however the issue is not every student has the skills for it. Calculus and (basic) science principles are important in many of these disciplines. Not everyone is good at those BUT we have politicians, teachers and employers talking about how in need STEMs are. The issue is at some point I imagine it will be the same as a nurse or teacher. When that point is, I have no idea.
Regardless of what degree you go for, someone will tell you it's not worth it. Here's some real advice: Go to college to educate yourself, not to please others.
If the goal is to educate yourself, the local public library would be far more economical and you would probably learn more.
College these days is expensive and therefore should be viewed as an investment. You would be naive to think otherwise.

STEM is a total waste of time, the only part that is important is E, Engineering, now with that degree, you can get a lot of money. All of the people that I know with science degrees are teaching, one I know works in government. Math, is the same way. Technology is kinda touch and go. I just wish people would quit trying to put STEM on a pedestal when its the Engineering part that makes it worth the money.
The thing with majoring in business major is its breadth and somewhat lack of focus, unless you have a concentration. I think it is a solid major, however there are a lot of them out there. If I knew a kid was going to major in Business, I would strongly suggest that they take a few computer science classes to add a technical edge to their repertoire. Knowing a little SQL, and basic computer programming skills can go a long way, depending on the job. Also it don't think it is a lack of jobs more so than a lack of opportunity being given to those who are not employed. There are many employees performing the function of two and even three people. Companies are doing this all in the name of increasing their value.
Employment data is much more useful starting at 25 and not right after graduation. Until median income drops by a lot for 25-34 age group the underemployment isn't a huge issue.
