<p>I would like to stand out when i get out of college so i want to double major in finance and something else. not accounting because i find that brutally boring. thought about international business, but would i then be obliged to take a foreign language?</p>
<p>also would business economics be too similar to finance?</p>
<p>i also thought about a poly-sci because i have an interest in that but i would not know what i could do with finance and that.</p>
<p>BTW I don't care about getting that coveted i-banking dream job that everyone has on cc</p>
<p>USA Today claims that out of the 9 million Americans who are now millionaires, over 95% of them made their money one of three ways:</p>
<p>(1) entrepreneurship (starting their own business)
(2) real estate ownership/real estate development, or
(3) doing really well with their investments/portfolio</p>
<p>Now i know that it is also important to do what you really, really like--so if you really like history or the classics I would suggest that over anything else--but if you are really undecided, I'd say finance covers area #3, so the other major should be either #1 (entrepreneurship) or #2 (real estate)--both of which are also available through the business school. This also means you would probably only need to take an extra four or five courses at most.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm also not that keen on those I-banking jobs. They are for some people, but certainly not for everyone.</p>
<p>thanks a lot and i do have an interest in real estate but i read that at iu you are not allowed to double major in finance and the real estate major (finance-real estate) anymore.</p>
<p>Well, actually it's a combined major already if you go that route. It's called the Finance/Real Estate major (just the second one you list above).</p>
<p>See this link for the info: (note that you have to space down to see it).</p>
<p>You could take this major and also take entrepreneurship I think--if not, I would consider communications as a second major, althrough then you would also have to fulfill the foreign language requirement. If you just minor in communications, then then I think the foreign language requirement doesn't apply.</p>
<p>hey, i dont think the business economics and public policy major is similar to finance. I think the two majors have one class that crosses over but thats it. On that note, the BEPP major is really good and teaches you some great skills for the corporate world. I myself was thinking about Finance + BEPP (Economic Consulting) but I might just do one major because i've heard and still keep hearing that double majoring isn't really that special.</p>
<p>Dcho is right, only one class overlaps, but then again the publicy policy major is only 15 credits, or one semester. I am quite sure that it is more impressive to have a dual degree or to graduate in three years from an employers standpoint. Unless you want to go into accounting, you really can major in anything at Kelley, just do well in whatever you choose to pursue!</p>
<p>I'm thinking to take double major too at IUB. My main major is Finance. FYI, I'm not a Kelley direct admit. Which one do you think is better: Finance+Accounting, Finance+Math, Finance+Econ, or Finance+Math minor+Econ minor (I don't know if you can take two minors)? I personally prefer Finance+Math/Econ. I think it will lead to a wider job opportunities. However, I found a lot of people majoring in Finance+Accounting (and said that both majors are great to combine).</p>
<p>Can someone explain the pro and cons for each pair?</p>
<p>True, true--A2Wolves6--unless, of course, you did so in the past two years--in which case you are not only broke, but you probably owe the bank money--and the bank is probably having their corporate officers indicted for loaning you money under questionable circumstances.</p>
<p>For cjoch97 I would suggest majoring in Finance and entrepreneurship</p>
<p>and as for lydia.. depends on which subject you are more interested in accounting and econ.. take a-100 and e-201 during your freshmen year and try to decide which one you liked better.. if you excel in both subjects major in accounting and finance and minor in econ...</p>
<p>If you stick to quality areas in quality cities you will make good money in real estate in the long run. If you buy new houses in outlying areas in third tier cities you might lose your shirt.</p>
<p>Employers actually prefer to see a double major because it shows you are motivated and willing to broaden your knowledge. And, by the way, finishing in three years isn't so great; some of the top employers see that as cutting corners or not having a full college experience. You might also be passing up an opportunity to do an internship or study abroad by finishing so quickly. And don't forget all the ECs you might be passing up. If you're only focused on finishing fast, you'll end up looking like a cookie-cutter business grad, and not many companies will want to interview you.</p>
