<p>I want to become a i-banker but the only major that is related to business at our school is econ. Will I be at a disadvantage? I'm thinking of Computer Science with a minor in econ or minor in stat or math?</p>

<p>Haas school of biz</p>

<p>Maybe. I was at the career fair a couple weeks ago and Goldman Sachs was looking for EECS majors.</p>

<p>GS is looking for an EECS to fill their IT programming roles, it’s not investment banking… they need programmers too you know…</p>

<p>you can be any major you please… as long as you have the grades, interest + knowledge in finance, and relevant business internships… like F500 Corp Fin or boutique investment banking summer internships ur fresh, sophomore year…</p>

<p>Sure, why not? Even poli-sci majors can become investment bankers. For example, according to the Career Center, poli-sci students obtained analyst/associate positions at Lehman, Bear Stearns, Merill Lynch, and Lazard. (Granted, maybe the first two are ominous examples.)</p>
