OR or Economics for i-banking

<p>I want to be an investment banker so i want to know do banks recruit a higher percentage of economics majors or operations research majors.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about comparing the two majors, but the statistics that you look for are usually flawed. You may see more economics majors in ibanking because they are self-selective (they major in economics to get into ibanking). Maybe it's the same for OR, but I've a feeling that economics majors are more inclined (but not more likely) to get into Wall Street. So I'd say it doesn't matter. You can even do philosophy.</p>

<p>That's the mantra on CC, right? That ibanking doesn't need any particular major.</p>
