I partially disagree. I studied CS and business as a double major. I work in software now. While it certainly wasn't as important as CS to my career, I'm glad I also did the business major.
The technical business skills don't come up much (outside of properly using terms like "gross profit" and managing my personal finances), but I'd say the main thing I learned in the business major was soft skills. Almost all the work we did was in groups. We had to give lots of presentations. We had to study business communication. I've found that these skills are very useful for distinguishing oneself from one's peers, and they apply to almost any profession.
