Are finance majors retarded?

I hate having to use clickbait titles, but it always gets more responses. But really, is there any advantage to a finance major?

Assume you have leadership positions in finance clubs and multiple relevant finance internships. For IB recruiting, if you're a computer science major, is that

a) a disadvantage because it doesn't show interest as much as a finance major

b) an advantage because you'll get easier technicals

I pulled this move where I started out college majoring in engineering and then switched to finance over near the second semester of my sophomore year, but it timed perfectly (this was luck) to align with recruiting so when I submitted my resume to all the banks it looked like I was majoring in engineering still and as if that would be my long term major and it worked to impress all of my interviewers really well cause of the STEM meme (they all liked seeing it especially cause I also had some solid internships for a sophomore and I looked all science-y and nerdy and "quantitative"). By the time I'd switched out I'd gotten my internship offer signed and once that's done nobody really cares what you do or what you've done and then I officially became a finance major and since finance is a binary, low-effort garbage degree (literally, you either end up making $150k in banking or you're getting paid $25k selling insurance or some other scam salesmen job), once I'd gotten the offer I had a lot more time to work on my own projects and work without pressure. I'm a non-target, so this helped tremendously and have to say it is the most impressive "hack" I've pulled to date in my life.

 

Murphy's law: the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.
