<p>Just F Business. I HATE it. I hate how recruiters from no-name financial service firms are so condescending when you say that you are anything except for a junior or senior, but the second you let off a tip or some sort of hint, they turn friendly and while they don't kiss your ass, they change a lot. </p>
<p>The students are just as two-faced. So many pretend to be what they are not. Just admit what you are. Why hide so much? Why act arrogant as if you are successful when you are clearly not?</p>
<p>The world of business needs a change. No wonder **** like Enron happens. </p>
<p>I know this seems biased, but whatever. I know a fair share of somewhat honest business majors. I understand hiding some stuff and maybe stretching the truth a bit, but this is ridiculous. Almost one half of the business majors I met are hyenas, jackals, and other bottomfeeders. I hope that the other half I know stay somewhat honest.</p>
<p>Rant over. </p>
<p>Accounting is not prestigious, but I seem to like many of the people working in accounting firms. They seem fairly nice and honest although there was that one thing with arthur andersen and enron....</p>
<p>thats why i didnt join Delta Sigma Pi, too damn professional, overly ambitious bastards. they claim they have their own business and got job offers before they graduate, from who? and what kind of business? a ****ing janitorial job at wells fargo is still called a job at wells fargo. i can open up a dam lemonade stand and call it my business. </p>
<p>am i bitter because i didnt get a bid, maybe a little, but now that i think about it, i must thank them for not giving me a bid.</p>
<p>now i am not plagued by the pledging events that are plaguing so many of my friends AND i can get in house parties. sorry, delta, but calling females "bros" is just not my thing.</p>

<p>Considering the average starting salary for DSP alumni's 80k, I'm assuming it's no janitorial type of job. Sure there are some outliers who get offered over $100k as IBankers but those people alone aren't enoguh to boost the avg up by 30k above the typical average of 50k. One thing that's really attractive is the internship opportunity they provide. Simply lovely.</p>
<p>I'd like to try one more time next quarter since I failed miserably during the interview (they ask some ridiculous questions) and would really like to join their frat.</p>
<p>What the 80k starting salary? Is that really true?!?! Are they mostly econ majors or?</p>
<p>Regarding DSP, is it more of a social frat or a more focused, professional frat? Cause I want an organization that provides me opportunities but without the dramatic social commitment. Would that be DSP?</p>
<p>i say 50-50.
While they have a very strict professional side to them, they also possess quite a wild social aspect to them (they are frat, afterall). But moreover, DSP is about connection and network. From what I've heard, they have incredible networking system, both nationally and internationally, and this could provide you with vast amount of resources.</p>
<p>And no, they are not mostly econ major.
They are ALL econ dept majors lol.
That's part of the requirement of joining DSP.
The good thing about that is, since they are all similar/same major, they are most likely to take same classes (or have new brothers take the classes that older brothers have taken in the past) and help each other out.</p>
<p>bizecon students are all pursuing the highest paid professor (out of college) which is ibanking. Some want to do accounting (god knows why...).</p>
<p>the reason why people drop out/get frustrated is because they don't really have what it takes to make it in the business world. Im not talking about smarts. I'm talking about that same, arrogant, twofaced personality you talk about. Believe it or not, the business world is a brutal place. You have to be like that to succeed (in this field).</p>
<p>lucky for you, there are other ways to get hired as an ibanker. Basically, you just need to have a super high gpa, and major in something. Get your MBA from a top notch prgrm. There. You are now an Ibanker/financial consultant, and you avoided the dreaded bizecon major.</p>

<p>Wow, really? Because so far I'm debating majors between some type or bio or some type of econ. If I do bio major, do I still have the opportunity to go into many of the professions that econ majors go into? (e.g. consulting, ibanking, accounting, etc)</p>
<p>Well, the good news for you is that you still have a few quarters to decide to switch paths and that some of your lower division bio courses with require GEs. </p>
<p>I can't answer your question though but I hope that soothes any anxieties!</p>
<p>ichthuscypher: yes! professional schools don't really mind if you are a bio major. Bio majors get into all kinds of schools (law, business, med...).</p>
<p>the only catch is, you need to have extracurricular activities that shows your interest in those fields. You also need to take the correct exam (LSAT, GMAT, MCAT). </p>
<p>Consulting, is an interesting field because they NEED people from very diverse backgrounds. However, consultancy firms REALLY look closely at your gpa/scores.</p>
<p>Hmm..in that case, although I'm interested in both econ and bio, I should probably do econ then to have a higher GPA. (Bio = premed competition like crazy...)</p>
