<p>what kind of jobs can one acquire with this major?</p>
<p>and is it easy to switch to this from Computer science?</p>
<p>One’s major only takes up a single line on a resume. Consequently, the big determining factor in getting jobs is NOT your major, but how well you’ve prepared yourself for a job. Generally speaking, psychology majors don’t prepare themselves for careers in nuclear engineering and nuclear engineers don’t prepare themselves for work in the legal field.</p>
<p>As a Comp Sci or Bus Information Management major you could probably well prepare yourself for nearly any field in business if you put in the work. Take on internships, join relevant clubs. Take a leadership position whenever possible and make a story for yourself. </p>
<p>If you’d rather program, do IT consulting, or some other thing, then gain relevant experience in doing such. It’s as simple as that. Aim for the big names, make acquaintances. </p>
<p>I’m a quantitative economics major with minors in mathematics and statistics and I’m likely to pick up either a management minor or an accounting minor as well, I hope to go into business with the emphasis being towards either consulting or corp fi. I’m not sure where I’ll end up and my time is running out, but I have a full resume, a lifetime of relevant experience and stories to talk about, a lot of contacts on linkedin and I have business cards from recruiters from 50 places I wouldn’t mind working at. I think I’ll be fine.</p>
<p>The real question to ask on your end is “how can I leverage what I have towards gaining useful skills?” In my humble opinion, if you don’t know WHAT you want to be, the majors which offer the most flexibility are Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Accounting, and perhaps Comp Sci. Supplement with minors as necessary.</p>
<p>BIM is sort of a hybrid between computer science and business. I went to the ICS session at Discover UCI, they told me switching to BIM is extremely hard since the business school is impacted.</p>
