Hi all,

I’ve had a couple of major changes in undergrad and I’ve found myself as an econ major at the university. While I do like the major, I’m worried about job placement after college. It seems like I’d have a better if I was studying finance in Isenberg, but I’m a senior so its too late for that now. Will financial firms even recruit econ majors here?

Regardless of what your major is, don’t just rely on the firms that come to campus. You should also reach out to any firm that interests you. Go to their websites and etc., attend any info sessions they offer, and apply directly to them. Just because a firm doesn’t recruit on campus, doesn’t mean they don’t want you.
