fresh off the bus, i wonder how much there would be to "re-learn"?
take the accenture offer. as an undergrad, i was computer engineering, and i learned something. business majors are still dumb, the only difference is that they were trained in school to get ahead. engineers were trained to do their job. accenture will teach you the drive needed to get ahead (business), PLUS you'll be smart (engineer).
spoken like a true accenturic. |

You won't learn anything about business (other than a few things that anyone would get by working in the business world) here at Accenture. We are an IT deployment and IT integration services company. This is not some kind of business services or management consulting company.
As far as business majors (or any other majors) being dumb is concerned, I think what you mean is slightly ignorant, not dumb. All kids out of college, business majors, engineering majors, English majors, politcal science majors, etc. are still young and have a lot to learn. Since Accenture people are mostly kids only 3 or 4 years out of college (or less), they may SEEM dumb, but they are not.
Also, just because an engineering major may not have the critical skills to understand symbolism in a Shakepeare play or the business acumen to grasp the subtleties between a revenue and sale (while an English major or a business major might know) doesn't make him dumb. Engineering students have their own abilities which they focus on. I don't think Engineering students are any less intelligent than other students. Also, I'm sure that once they get some experience, the typical Accenture student might prove to be just about as bright as the typical person at any other company.
So your evaluation of the brain power of the young folks who work here is a bit unfair.
