<p>Hey everyone; first post here (: I need some information on majors. What major has the best potential? Imagine making 100k+, living in New York comfortably, working in the financial district, going to work in tuxedos. Would a masters in business administration be sufficient? Is it a good major is what I'm asking. I heard that the starting salary of students that graduated from places like Berkeley is around 105k. Would it be better for me to get a masters in finance or economics maybe? Is an M.B.A. a good high paying major with lots of potential? Thanks for viewing.</p>

<p>$100k in NYC doesn’t afford the type of lifestyle you’re imagining. And no. Just going out and getting an MBA doesnt just magically get you a job. You need to have somewhat of an idea of what you’re doing with recruiting and what not, and clearly you don’t. And the top MBA programs require top job experience. You seem overall clueless. </p>

<p>Yes, everyone who works in the FiDi goes to work in tuxedos. What is this, a prom? I literally can’t think of one profession that requires their employees to wear tuxedos to work.</p>
<p>FinanceDistrict, what is your current position and what do you really want?</p>
<p>I’m in my senior year of high school. I just want to know what major I should take. My grades are all B’s atm and I know that’s pretty bad. I plan on going to community college for 2 years, getting a bunch of different courses, and try to apply for U.C. Davis or U.C. Berkeley. If I won’t get accepted into either of those, than I might just go to University of Sacramento for 2 years, get my bachelors in business administration, and than try to transfer to Berkeley and get my masters there. I’m not trolling anyone. I’m just a high school student with not much information on what/how I should do, and I want some help.</p>
<p>FinanceDistrict, some people on this forum are arrogant (just like in life…). But not everybody here is like this.</p>
<p>When you post something here, try to provide as much info as possible. Your background, etc. It helps everyone.</p>
