econ and philosophy

<p>I know econ+math is reputed to be ideal preparation for ibanking, but how would econ and philosophy prepare a student/ look to potential employers.</p>

<p>If I were an employer, I'd prefer econ + philosophy. Econ + math seems a bit too redundant if you're not going to grad school. Philosophy, or any other humanities, will give you that extra realm of skills.</p>

<p>But your not an employer... econ+math is the route to take. Every employer is different, econ+math is always more reliable than econ+philosophy.</p>

<p>I think philosophy offers greater personal benefit, but math is more practical in terms of getting an ibanking job.</p>

<p>Well it's really up to you and your abilities. Why? you have no control of your employer and some may want econ+math, econ+phys, econ+stats, etc... so don't really concern yourself with that. Even I'm just HS schooler, I don't think its smart major in math, stat, or phys knowing you're not very good at it plus it will harm your GPA and waste time. My mother told me that a friend of hers was a senior and had to change his major at the very last minute because he didn't require the GPA of the major Accounting to graduate. </p>

<p>If you feel that its absolutely require then take the safe route and just minor it shouldn't hurt you too much!</p>
