This is one of those annoying life "advices" that assert that you need some nebulous skill to live, but gives no clue whatsoever of how to acquire this skill, or what it is.

In college, some people wanted to become doctors. They set out on a path and said that’s what they wanted. Others went to business school and just hoped to get hired somewhere. Whoever hired them told them what they were going to be. The latter sucks, just ask any corporate worker.

Yes, but the people who wanted to be doctors had gotten to the point that they knew what they wanted to be, and that hurdle is both very tall to jump and off in an unmarked direction.

It’s just an example. You can substitute doctor for anything. At least you’re taking a stance. The other person is just wandering around with less of a stance in life.

Are you saying going to business school means you’re not sure of what you’re going to be doing? That’s not true, you can narrow down what type of business you want to do and you can also start your own business

Most don’t start businesses, most apply at a company then the company slots them according to their needs

Or you could also have multiple sources of income and have a small business. Many different ways to make a living

Right but business administration students generally end up in corporations.
