<p>I am really interested in the following majors as I think both could possibly lead me to a job in ibanking with like a minor in business. I had some questions regarding the two majors.</p>

<p>1) I have been told that General Engineering majors are recruited for ibanking and S/T at UIUC. However, does anyone know if this holds true for Computer Engineering as well? Do recruiters prefer one major over the another?</p>

<p>2) Since GE is in the Industrial Engineering dept, is it disrespected by recruiters?</p>

<p>I guess what I am trying to ask is, which one will give me the best chances of getting a job in ibanking?</p>

<p>Oh, and BTW, the General Eng. program at UIUC is kinda of a business oriented form of engineering. It's not just a general major looking at engineering in a general perspective.</p>

<p>Industrial Engineering is not a disrespectful Eng. major.
even though its called "joke engineering" by CC members it's still on demand.</p>

<p>and the same thing w/ IE OR.</p>

<p>IE is the most business oriented major, and thats why its the easiest compared to Electrical, Mech, Chem etc.</p>
