<p>Hypothetically, if one double majors in economics/business and some type of humanities (English or Philosophy or the like), will that be significantly disadvantaged to a math degree, assuming a similar degree of interest for both subjects?</p>
<p>Personally, I'm interested in both philosophy and math, and planning to triple major in business, economics, and one more major. However, for the reason of wanting a slightly more diverse college experience, I am somewhat leaning towards philosophy for the third major. </p>
<p>Are the benefits to a quantitative (such as math) background significantly greater than one in the humanities in terms of business?</p>
<p>well school rep mite b somewhat significant.....umm personally, if you are triple majoring and can handle that...in the long run the subject matter you chose to study wont really matter....math is very useful..but if you're already majoring in bus/ econ...its not needed really essential......
where are you planning to go to school at?</p>
<p>I'm expecting to be going to Berkeley, which is the reason I'm going to be majoring in both. Since I have to fulfill so many of the requirements for economics for business (Haas), I might as well finish off the major.</p>
<p>Trading... I thought that was probably it, but I wasn't sure. Thank you.</p>
<p>I'm interested in going into M&A, or consulting, or other person-to-person sort of jobs.</p>
<p>Unless you are planning on being a heavy quant type, I'd lean toward the humanities option. Communications skills are highly regarded in most fields, and one way of actually improving those skills as well as demonstrating your versatility to employers is majoring/minoring/concentrating in the humanities.</p>
