If you were just to get work experience, you would learn about how things had been done in one business. But if you get a degree in business, you learn about what businesses across industries and areas are doing, you learn theories which suggest what might be done, and why, and it helps you to find logical solutions to problems rather than just doing things the way they have always been done in the past.

The trouble with many vocational subjects is that they only train you for a specific type of work. If you find afterwards that you dislike that sort of work, or are not very good at it, then you are not qualified for anything else. I worked in business for over 20 years, for various companies and whilst these companies did things in different ways, they naturally they had one common aim - to make money. I have never known anyone who has done business studies and you certainly don't need it to succeed in business.
I am not sure which level of business studies you are talking about, but if it is GCSE / A level, then I would go for English, possibly Maths, some sort of humanities subject, eg History (this will teach you to communicate and analyse effectively) and Latin (which is THE best subject for teaching you logic).

The most success full (rich) business people did not bother wasting years at university to understand business techniques
You can cheaply employ people to do that for you.
Think of the 10 most wealthy
business people in the UK, you will be hard pushed to find any who've gone to university, let alone studied business.

I did and now I work in a warehouse.
An uncle of mine left school at 15 because there was no money in the pot to keep him in education even though he made grammer school.
He is now a multi-millionnaire having built his own international sports company over the past 34 years. Sixteen years ago when I discussed what I wanted to study he told me " those who can do, those who cant teach".

business and trade are one part of our life, that is one way of exchanging products of each other for better enjoying life, hence, business comes from the original primary exchanging products of each other...
well..if you don't like business, you can learn other things, such as literature, or something else..but..making a living on your own , being an independent and integrity one might be a way of making your life more happier and better...
good luck!
