Employment Statistics

There's a common stereotype surrounding business degrees: that people graduate with a bachelors in business, never get a legit job, and end up being manager at McDonald's. Why is this a stereotype? There are a few reasons why one might be led to believe this. One would be that business is one of the most common majors and is therefore very competitive, so it's almost impossible to find a job in the limited career market. Another reason is that a major such as "management" really isn't going to mean much to an employer. No company is going to promote someone without any experience in the field simply because they have a management degree; it means almost nothing to them.

Fact: 85% of Broad graduates were employed upon graduation (taken straight from Eli Broad's website)

With statistics like this, I'd say that Broad graduates prove the stereotype behind business graduates wrong. Are these numbers similar for business programs at other schools as well, or is Broad more successful because it's renowned to employers as a very strong program? This is something worth considering for anyone debating whether or not to go into the field of business. When entering a field as competitive as business, remember to research the options. Knowing the program you are planning to join and their statistics for graduation employment is something that everyone needs to consider.
