My take? Skip business school. You can learn nearly everything a biz track would give you by reading "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman.

I admit it. I'm an outlier here. Unless you're going to be a doctor/lawyer/engineer, college isn't worth the time or money.

You can get the business acumen without the hefty college tuition bill. I'm a business grad. If I had it to do over, I'd have skipped college and went all-in on learning to code. (I code now, I'm self-employed, and I'm making the best money I've ever made.)

If you want to be a creative, steer your educational pursuits where can get you what you need much cheaper.

It pains me to see people go to school, graduate with a huge bill, and then get a crappy job.
