<p>ultra cali,</p>
<p>those type of questions are very broad and generally very difficult/risky to answer with much accuracy. If you are simply talking about salary (which can be quite misleading and offer an incomplete picture), Haas students make a pretty large amount of money. They are approximately on par with the college engineering for high-salaries. Only majors that make notably more than business admin are EECS from the college of engineering and CS (which is extremely high, probably due to the small survey size) from letters and sciences.</p>
<p>So yes, in general, when considering salaries alone, Haas graduates make a relatively large amount of money.</p>
<p>If you're comparing Econ vs Business, salary-wise, there appears to be a slight difference, though barely. In 2005, the average salary for econ grads was lower, but the 75th percentile was the same. It also appears that grads from both majors have very similar job titles.</p>
<p>A notable difference, however, is that more econ grads go to graduate school, and in more varying subjects (and many in Econ), whereas less Haas grads go to grad school (are employed instead); haas students that do go to grad school mostly study law.</p>
<p>Check Cal's career center for details. Be careful not to buy into numbers too much though.</p>
<p>How easy is it to get a high GPA in Haas as opposed to other majors if law school is a consideration? If pre-law is my track, what majors best prepare for the "theory" behind law school, while also being relatively simple to achieve a high GPA?</p>
<p>A high GPA in Haas is very possible. First of all, if you even make it into Haas, you're GPA should be good. And then since Haas classes grade easy, you'll probably be able to keep up that good GPA rather easily. </p>
<p>And there's a lot of majors that people take for the pre-law track. They include political science, legal studies, history.. but really, you can major in anything.</p>

<p>Actually, it probably has to do with the selectivity of those particular CS grads. Keep in mind that CS was an impacted major until just very recently. Hence, those CS figures you are seeing have to do only with those people who were able to make it into the major. Those people who didn't even make it into the major are obviously not counted as far as CS salary is concerned. </p>
<p>Incidentally, this is also an important reason why the Haas salaries are somewhat 'inflated' relative to that of other majors because they obviously don't count all those people who didn't even get into Haas. Let's face it. If you have a 2.1 GPA, you're not going to get into Haas (or into CS in the old days). Not only that, but with those grades, you're probably not going to get a great salary no matter what you major in.</p>
<p>I am considering Math+Business or Math+Econ, which is better if I want to attend a graduate school majoring in Math in Finance stuff?</p>
<p>definitely math+Econ. Econ is far more theoretical and geared towards research if you take the theoretical versions of their courses (econ 101, 141, etc.) It also pairs very nicely with a math major.</p>
