In need of some help choosing an undergrad degree
Hey guys, was looking for some advice on choosing my degree and thought this would be a good place to start. I'm sure you get tons of stupid questions like this, but I would really appreciate it if anyone could take the time to help me out.
I'm currently 17 and UK based, so I have university applications coming up soon. I'm hoping to make it into the city when I'm older, either in consulting or IB, and plan to do an MBA after University.
Right now, my two main options for University courses would be Modern Languages at Oxford/Cambridge, or Finance/business management and LSE/St Andrews, or perhaps a joint honours course with languages and business. I'm wondering which one would be more worth pursuing if I'm looking for a career in the city, as while a business degree at the aforementioned Unis would be hugely relevant and helpful, they don't come with the prestige that Oxford and Cambridge have.
Basically, I'm not sure whether prestige or relevance is more important to employers from big firms and so was wondering whether any of you might have an idea.
TIA
Hey tpoints, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:
If we're lucky, maybe these professional users will respond: onlythestrongsurvive scottgock @carolcao13"
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
