Not only that, but you can also only seek jobs in business administration.

Yes. You can do anything as an undergraduate (major in music, violin, beer, etc) and do an MBA or JD in graduate school. In fact, many schools look for diverse undergraduate fields.

I don't know if I'd say you can study anything, but there is a fair amount of leeway, particularly in graduate programs that award professional degrees. On the other hand, research-focused programs tend to attract people who study similar subjects throughout their schooling. For example, in my MPA program we had people who'd studied everything from english to political science to business in their bachelor's degree. However, before I switched to the MPA program, I spent a year in a research-based MA in political science, and I found the undergraduate backgrounds to be much less diverse. Everyone had studied something along the lines of political science, government, history, etc.

I have several highly prestigious degrees from a small private school in the caribbean (I'd name the school, but the smalltimers here wouldn't know) It's been referred to as the "Harvard of Haiti" more than once.
