After reading "The Great Rat Race Escape ," I'm wondering: Are degrees in entrepreneurship, finance, and marketing considered to be of relative-value?

Conversely, will they teach practical coursework which will significantly assist in my ventures as an entrepreneur?

The concept of relative-value degrees was outlined by the "Hot Stove Principle" (P41).

Prior to reading this book, I was in pursuit a Bachelor of Science in Biology for med-school and beyond, but I am now reconsidering my college courses and career. If I am missing any overarching concept mentioned my MJ regarding college business degrees, please let me know.
