Mr. Blue. I don't know how to put
this in a way, so as not to offend
any one that has attended college
and takin a business course. I found
the majority of classes to be a
total waste of time and money. The
only course i found out any thing
new was in bus. 101, and macro
economics. I never botherd with
micro economics, which is usually
takin before macro economics. All
the courses were required towards a
business degree. In either business
administration, or business
management. Not all credits were
transferable. I can't say what was
being offerd at other colleges. If
i had to do over again, i would have
enrolled in harvard business school.
