<p>@Sakky: Yeah I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, succeeding in I-banking vs. actually getting an I-banking job in the first place are two different things. As a political science major myself, I’ve encountered so many problems with my major in considering finance/business related fields (that’s why I said that). </p>
<p>To succeed in the field, econ/biz knowledge isn’t everything - there are lots of vital skills that the other social sciences inculcates in you. But in terms of /getting/ an I-banking job - well econ/biz is the way to go, I guess.</p>
