<p>Don’t sell the Communication major (or any LibArt Major) short…
Your analysis is limited to the idea that Investment Banks only employ Investment Bankers.</p>
<p>How about a Psychology degree at an Accounting firm?</p>
<p>A friend of mine is a Psychology Grad (admittedly he is a PhD but many in his team are not) He is employed as a Senior Project Manager at Price Waterhouse Coopers specialising in International Mergers, assessing the most efficient and ‘pain free’ way to manage and merge human resources between companies during the merger process.</p>
<p>Senior International Management at one of the big 4 Accounting firms and the fellow can’t balance a chequebook!
Such jobs didn’t even exist when he graduated…but now he earns more than any mainstream psychologist could ever hope to earn.</p>
<p>Communications major at an Investment Bank?
Not far fetched at all. :)</p>

<p>Of course, you can find a communication major at a large firm. Someone needs to handle PR and marketing. However, generally speaking PWC hires finance or accounting majors over liberal art majors.</p>
<p>Here is the college major distribution by internship candidates of PWC. </p>

<p>I am happy for your friend, but one outlier does not accurately depict the general reality of the job market. </p>
