Every year, more and more young Americans pay big bucks for a college education. For some, the degree could be a valuable leg-up in the workplace. Others study what they are passionate about. But for those who just want to get a degree and get a job, there's business. Over 20 percent of American undergraduates major in business. A recent survey showed that business majors spends less time preparing for class than other students. They study an average of just 11 hours out of class. Some worry that the bar for achievement is set far too low for graduating with a business degree. Ironically, business majors score lower on the GMAT exam than any other major. However, their starting salaries after graduation is still higher than liberal arts majors.
