Some stats:
1. 4,000 high school students applied for 450 spots for admittance into the U of M's Carlson School of Management.
2. 40% of University of St. Thomas students major in a business related degree.
3. University of Minnesota-Duluth's Labovitz School of Business has gone from 1,200 students in 1998 to 2,000 now, and is building a new $23 million building.
And of course a great incentive for students to major in business/economics, is the pay; see here for a previous Redonomics post on this.

it's nice to see how many people are intrested and studing in buisness. But the question is that will all these people will be able to find a job, that involves with buisness degree, with all these competitions going on in thier first year after they recive the degree.
Business is ok, i suppose. There has to be some backup for kids who can't do the math and become an engineer.
business is such a broad field that there are so many opportunities for business majors. although, it's way too much of a competitive field for me. too stressful. however, i give people props who succeed in this field
We think that it is so good that more people are becoming interested in the business/economic feild. Obviously there is a higher demand for them (which is the reason for their higher pay). So it is a thing that can be beneficial to the economy as well as the individual person.

I think business is a great field to enter. I also plan on entering a business-related field; which is accounting. I think more college students are entering into business-related fields because kthey know that business is of great deal to the people, therefore, giving them the advantage of finding a career after college. Also, the students know that a business degree could be really beneficial to be as a B-plan.
