I think many students fantasize a future for themselves and for many it is a safe, steady, well paid job in business. So they think 'business studies'.
A lot of the most successful business men (and women) have come via unconventional routes. And these people often have their own company.
Conclusion? A successful business may be all down to luck.

So it's in those impractical majors (e.g. philosophy) that you're more likely to find free-thinkers, idealists. And as it were, that's exactly the type of attitude you need to reject offers for safety, security, and fortune in the name of your own romantic idea about making a difference (but probably just losing your shirt).
Least that was my experience, and I'm a startup founder + recovering business grad.
