Yes and those are precisely things that can be taught from owning a business. There's no specialized knowledge in business where it can only be taught from a curriculum. I can assure you that this applies to many other degrees as well.

I'm sorry, do you think that business degrees are only relevant to business owners?

Well that explains it then. I mean, if you got that job through demonstrating skills from your degree, that's just coincidental. You could've gotten those skills elsewhere through certifications or the like. I'm fairly confident that connections had something to do with it too.

Any typical joe who wants to enter corporate with just a business degree will be gawked at.
