Is it true that only about 20% of the people end up using their Bachelor’s degree?
I actually heard it was rather more than 20%. I certainly use nothing academic that I learnt during my batchelor's in my job.
On the other hand, I wouldn't have gotten my job without a good batchelor's degree. For many jobs, having a good bathelor's degree is critical, simply for demonstrating a certain level of intellect, rather than for the actual content of what you learn.
Basically, by having a good batchelor's you prove that you're smart enough to handle the job. No degree = no proof that you're smart enough.
So how does a Math degree compare to a Business degree?

A math degree gives you some deeper knowledge of math, a business degree gives you some deeper knowledge of business.
phat, i don’t know the exact statistic on this but seems about right. also take me for ex…i’m an Economics major for my undergrad and doing my MBA as well…however, am employed in the rather competitive field of Human Resources which tends to fall under a non-business category.

Which is worth more out in the real world?
moona
should we inform business schools that human resource management is no longer a business related degree as you just noted?
i heard that somewhere too...
i am just abt to complete my BS in computer science and have a feeling i might not be using the technical skills i learnt in my bachelor's degree in the future....
