First Post, Economics?
I'm not really too sure if I want to get into Ibanking, but just want to set out my plan and get some opinions.
I am transferring to either UCLA or UC Berkeley this coming fall (not from a community college) and majoring in either UCLA-Biz Econ or UCB-Econ. I'm leaning towards Berkeley since I want to work in the Bay Area. The problem is, everyone here seems to think that an Econ degree from a non-ivy is useless or not worth it. I don't want to major in Business at Haas because its too focused and a part of me wants to maybe become an economist. I know for sure that I'm going to take the necessary amount of courses required for CPA, because I eventually want to work for a Big 4 (I have an internship with them this summer and want to keep it going) in advisory/corp. fin.
My question is, how will majoring in Econ as opposed to Haas affect Ibanks perception of me? Thanks.
nm, noticed the other thread
if you dont start wanting to get into ib, theres no point in pondering on how they will perceive your degree. its attutude that counts rather than whetehr you majored in economics or bullshitting. Personally, im through the door with a history degree...
