A narrow mindset will get u no where

So im from IBA and its like a second home to me. Ive found many good friends, many great junors and seniors who with their own individual intricacies have added a little bit of something to me in their own special way.
However this post isnt really about waxing poetic about my college, exactly as it is about a small problem that ive noticed.
We have specializations that we base our majors on. However no one has ever thought of a holistic business perspective. The finance majors just want to work in brokerage firms or in banks, and the marketing majors just day dream about big budget ads and sales commissions all day. Nobody thinks about how the business sides will integrate to become one entity. How if financial services were marketed to the masses and segmented properly they could grow at a massive rate. No finance major ever thinks of applying to a pricing or strategy position, although theyve learnt about number crunching at college. No marketing major thinks about product or strategy management.
Whats even more dissapointing is that no one dares to pursue their interests or open their own business. Why am i bitching about it when i havent done it myself? Because i just learnt about it right now...very late in life...but i still plan to do something pretty soon.
