<p>UCSD doesn't have a Business Administration of Finance major. They do, however, have an Economics program. The B.A. is slightly less math-oriented than the B.S. (Management Science) which is currently my major. I've also picked up a minor in Accounting, which makes me worried that between internships, jobs, and whatever else, it might be wiser to just stick to the B.A. as opposed to the B.S. I'm taking the lower division courses required for the Accounting minor, and some of them overlap with requirement for the B.S. anyways though.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on what is best for the future job market and if it's really necessary to do the B.S.? Or should I just do the B.A.? Either way, I'll plan to stick with the Accounting minor. Thanks!</p>
<p>Do not avoid math. Math skills are directly correlated to higher income.</p>
<p>I don’t believe that more than basic math skills will result in higher income, but I do believe that high grades in math courses may very well increase your the quality of the job offers you get when you graduate. It would definitely be a good idea to stick with the B.S. Surely the math isn’t THAT much greater from what you are already having to do in your Economics courses?</p>

<p>A new survey indicates that the top 15 highest-earning degrees all involve math skills.</p>
<p>“Math is at the crux of who gets paid,” said Ed Koc, director of research at the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which conducted the study. Koc was quoted on CNNMoney.com. “If you have those skills, you are an extremely valuable asset. We don’t generate enough people like that in this country.”</p>
<p>“It’s a supply and demand issue,” he explained to CNNMoney.com. “So few grads offer math skills, and those who can are rewarded.”</p>
<p>If you know stochastic calculus and can do it your chances of getting a specific job could be higher than someone who does not.</p>
<p>Mm, all very true. Thanks for everyone’s input!</p>
