Do Double Majors Matter?

Cookderosa it's funny I have heard that exact phrase uttered before about a high level product manager who has a psych degree! Just this year in fact.

Kyle I too looked at business education as a waste of time when I was in school. I realize now that it is essential for any manager to have this knowledge, either acquired at school or painfully through trial and error. The latter option costs your employer greatly or maybe costs you if you own your own business. I got a taste of it while doing some clep tests for macro,micro,management and marketing. Once i had those done I figured i wasn't far from a bs in bus admin so i went for it.

She is right about the no bachelors thing too. I am extremely good at what i do and i entered the industry during the dot com boom so luck and knowledge helped out. Now I want to finish my degree and get an MBA so that one day I'll have the knowledge needed to be part of an executive leadership team or run my own business.
