re: Somebody explain the practical differences between the various business majors.

Marketing and General Business are degrees that give students a little bit of everything from business, but there is no real specialization (more true for Gen. Biz than Marketing) - in marketing you can obviously specialize in certain aspects.

Accounting, Economics and Finance degrees are more in demand, more specialized and you can't bullshite your way through them.


If your daughter is a numbers girl and she has an interest in it, Finance seems like a good fit with several opportunities in several industries.
