You don't need a business degree to get into business, unless you're talking about a Finance or Accounting position.
Personally I would rather hire a Greek Philosophy major who busted his ass and was really really enthusiastic about it, rather than someone whose sole reason for majoring in Business was because of job possibilities and because it's a relatively easy major.

You're talking about the 1-in-1000 top student. For that exceptional population, it doesn't matter much what they get a degree in. They already have the tools needed to succeed. They're also depressingly rare when interviewing candidates.
