<p>I have just been accepted to a target school for next year and because I took many college classes in high school, I need to find a major soon. I know I want to go into i-banking and I am wondering what should be my major/minor. For majors I am thinking either economics or finance and either accounting or statistics for a minor. However I am open to any combination. What major/minor combination is best? Is a double major worth it to employers and Masters programs? Also, if I cannot break into i-banking I want to go into law. Any guidance is appreciated.</p>
<p>I don’t think the type of majors you listed are necessary for I-Banking. For example, English or History would be fine. Major in a subject that you like, get really good grades and take a few business oriented classes.</p>
<p>I am interested in the majors I listed. Anyone else?</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
<p>Not sure if it really matters on the major lol, my sister is a pure math major, got offered a job in IB with BS in pure math, she told me that she gets lots of finance job offers with little to no course history in finance even for wall street, my advice would be to combine finance with any type of math + a top tier school is what really matters. You should also consider researching what IB is before you even consider it, it’s not exactly as thrilling as you may think and requires a lot of work, sure the pay is high, but the job isn’t exciting and is a lot of work especially for the newbies doing all the work for the older guys.</p>
