I definitely feel what you are saying with the temperament. Many of these students do not have an authentic interest in business. To me, business is an intellectual pursuit. I know that this sounds silly and ironic, but I enjoy following the financial markets, learning about monetary policy, testing a business idea by designing a prototype, etc. What I was getting at in this post is that I have no desire to be a middle manager.

See my prior post but don't sell short the usefulness of that business degree. If there are aspects of it that you like, talk with your professors and see how you might best choose how to direct your course of study and electives. I have friends that are university professors and they actually like it when students give a shit about some things and will help out. Those are your mentors. Then there are the other folks in your degree, some who might be like-minded. Find them and make friends. Those are your peers, and sometimes your (friendly) competition. That network will be invaluable outside of university, not only for any sort of deep friendships you establish but in terms of career networking.

That was exactly the attitude that led me into business school. I just discovered too late that most of business school isn't about any of that. I highly encourage you to study those interests independently, whether you stick with business or not. You'll never have more time to spend in the library geeking out about whatever you like. It's what I miss most about university.
