Re: Majors and Distribution

>5/5 Business Management

No problem
here!

Actually, business questions are very hard to write because
most day to day work is just adminstration -- and to
be quite honest -- most business acument is
instinct, not knowlege, you either have it or you don't.
Also, business management can be an incredibly broad
topic -- I have a business degree but it's specialized
in information systems, which according to that list
is a separate discipline.

Our games tend to
follow the market. If I remember correctly, the one time
I perused the NAQT entry forms for an ICT, the
largest major (though far from a majority) was history
majors.Business majors was way down the list. I would also have
to wonder how many of the % of the majors would be
from traditonal students playing quizbowl (i.e. out of
high school) as opposed to nontraditional students
(working stiffs upping their education). When I was doing
my grad work at Colorado State, I tried desperately
to get a team together, but since I was only 1 of
the 6 traditional students -- all the others were
older -- I didn't have a chance. I would almost guess
that 1/4-1/2 of all business majors are
non-traditional students.
