1. I don't have a college degree. I only finished three semesters and then quit. I have a fantastic job at a bank with a good salary for a 20 year old with no degree. Nowadays, some places only want people with degrees, but if someone doesn't care, then you could end up doing very well.
2. Most of these classes seem to be pre-requisites for your great bachelors of business administration. Let's just take one for example. Principles of Accounting. Would you believe that 101% of all businesses in the world use or will use Accounting to keep track of their business. This is what helps to make the decisions as to what products to make, buy, sell - who to hire and/or fire. And what to do with the money the business makes. Ha, just using the simple principals of accounting, and ethics, I put people in jail, because they didn't think they should follow the rules.
3. These classes will teach you a lot of how businesses operate and make money, how they market their products, how they set price points to gain market share or increase profits, how to manage and motivate people, etc. Some will be more useful than others in the business world, but a general overview and understanding is very valuable. More than likely, you will be trained in your own job role for your specific job duties. But this knowledge will give you a better understanding of the entire organization, as well as others that you converse with in your position outside of your company. I think economics classes are especially important to understand the overall economy (i.e. why the fed is lowering interest rates to spur economic growth), and marketing and finance classes to the better understanding of what makes an organization successful. With such a competitive job environment, your ceiling is higher with more education, coupled with good experience. Good luck.
