<p>I'm a senior as of this year and still have yet to decide what I want to major in. I've narrowed it down to these three majors so far. I'm curious as to which of these might be the best to major in. Such as ability to find a job after graduating, salary, etc.</p>
<p>Well finance definitely presents a lot of opportunities.</p>
<p>I’m aware but how do the other two stack up? Are they pointless majors or are they actually beneficial? Also if it isn’t obvious I do love traveling and being around other cultures so I am truly deciding between these majors.</p>
<p>IB is better than IR, because it is essentially IR from a predominantly business perspective/focus instead of a policy or national focus.

Dpending on what you want to do finance could be a better fit than IB, but based on your love of traveling and cultural interest I would think IB is a better fit. Look at the PayScale data to get information regarding salary.
Something to consider is finding an IB program that involves a built in double major. In such a situation you could double major in IB and Finance, which would be a powerful and helpful combination.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll be on the lookout for any of those double-majors.</p>
<p>It’s worth noting that a degree in International Business has nothing to do with what kind of job you’re going to get out of college. You should minor in mandarin if you want to travel for most high-earning corporations. Most IB programs don’t require enough of a foreign language to gain proficiency. You won’t get hired for the same reason you wouldn’t hire a computer science major who didn’t take matrix algebra.</p>
<p>I’ve been taking French in High School and this next year will be French 4. Im not completely fluent in it but I have a decent enough grasp of it to become fluent soon. But I have been wanting to learn Mandarin because I know how valuable it is in the business. Are they any colleges in New York or Missouri that have great fields with all or most if these “requirements?”</p>
<p>Stern has an International Business focus, which is similar to what most schools have. The major itself is less common I posted a few links that should help you out.
I don’t put too much store in rankings, but it may be helpful to look at the following for some good schools to consider:
