  "text": "I have okay math skills. I made it through college algebra with a C. I am doing okay in finite math right now, but I struggle with some concepts. \n\nI really want to get my Bachelors in Business Administration, but I really don't want to go through two more math courses after this. Then there is statistics and  econ. My goal is to get into HR or go back to working for an insurance company to be a manager.  \n\nI was thinking of getting a BA or BS in Communication as well, but I'm told it would be a worthless degree. Yet, several people tend to think business degrees are worthless as well.\n\nThoughts? Advice?",

      "text": "Hi! I am a business marketing major and I can tell you for a fact that math is necessary, but you can get by with not having the best math skills. The tricky math and concepts come in with accounting and business calculus, but depending on your school, you may be able to get free tutors to help you through it. Also, a communications degree isn't worthless, it is versatile. In every job you will need to know how to communicate with others. I think when people say these degrees are worthless they don't understand the potential. Business is necessary for everyone in the world, from doctors to artists.
