Instruction: Read the paragraph below then pay attention to the bold parts. Their

Business is the most popular major in the US, and if you don’t already know this, a
more common credential tends to be less valuable than a less common credential.
Business majors who succeed tend to have very concrete skills, especially in
quantitative analysis areas. Economics and finance majors will, on average, do much
better than marketing or management or general business majors. Don’t avoid
challenging courses, including business calculus. Also, don’t jump to an MBA; it’s the
most common graduate degree grants, accounting for 1 in 4 master’s degrees, and
with 200,000 given out each year, there are 4 MBAs granted for each bachelor’s
degree in computer science.
