Minor (don't Major) in Entrepreneurship

You know I'm all about student entrepreneurship.  It takes a very rare breed to start a company as a student or recent grad.  Today I was at lunch with my new Elon colleagues and Sean McMahon stated his opinion that students should major in engineering (or some other practical field) and minor in entrepreneurship.

Why did I do a business major as an undergrad then go get an MBA?  Should have done engineering then MBA if needed.  Actually scratch the MBA.  Use that money for runway to start a company and learn more.

Someone convince me since I'll be consulting my kids with that advice.
