Taken at face value business majors are surprisingly conservative. They're there because mom and dad told them it would be safe/smart, and in other cases because they couldn't think of anything else to study. So it's in those impractical majors (e.g. philosophy) that you're more likely to find free-thinkers, idealists. And as it were, that's exactly the type of attitude you need to reject offers for safety, security, and fortune in the name of your own romantic idea about making a difference (but probably just losing your shirt). Least that was my experience, and I'm a startup founder + recovering business grad.
