<p>Which is better in terms of having better job prospects if I don't get into medical school? Or could it be better to major in math? (btw, I'm interest in all the majors I listed, lol)</p>

<p>Math, applied math, or statistics typically comes out better in job prospects than psychology or MCB. Types of jobs for math, applied math, or statistics tend to lean heavily toward finance, with some in computers (appropriate elective choices help, of course).</p>
<p>If you want to go to med school, MCB would be the best pick. However, many students from various majors apply to and are accepted into med school as long as you have the class requirements, the GPA, research, volunteer, etc. MCB is quite competitive too, since many pre med students are in MCB, so the competition is tough.
If you are super concerned about job prospect, you should not do Psych. It’s not impossible to find a job right after college, but it would be much more difficult without furthering your education beyond a Bachelor’s degree.
Math is the best option in terms of job prospect with just a BA, but you will have to take bio, chem, and other classes required for pre med on top of your math classes, and Berkeley upper division math is not easy. I suggest taking Math 55 (and Math 110 if you can) to get a glimpse into upper division Math.
Also if you are concerned about job prospects and are interested in Math, may I also suggest Statistics? Statistics is quite attractive in the current job market. It has more practical elements than Math that would be useful for future job search (like programming in R, dealing with big data sets, linear regression) and it’s slightly less theoretical than Math. </p>
