<p>for someone looking to get a job in the financial sector, would math be a better undergrad degree than econ?</p>
<p>major in finance.</p>
<p>ok...um, are there any financial engineers or i-bankers out there that could help me with this one?</p>
<p>I'm in a liberal arts school, so finance is not an option.</p>
<p>yes, especially if you are looking into hedge funds / heavy quant stuff</p>
<p>Although you should definitely take econ/finance courses while pursuing your math major, or preferably major in math and minor in econ.</p>
<p>Man, take finance/math and close your eyes. It is the best combination of majors</p>
