Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>I go to the University of Michigan and I'm thinking about doing the sociology with a sub-concentration on business and the economy, and I'm wondering if this is a marketable degree. </p>

<p>I want to work in finance after graduation and I have already completed two internship. However I'm thinking about changing my major from econ to soc. </p>

<p>Basically I never wanted to major in econ but I decided to only because I thought it was the most marketable, but in I really do like sociology. </p>

<p>Also I have taken a lot of econ and a few accounting classes. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Double concentration?</p>

<p>Also, of your ultimate goal is to work in Finance, then I think you should stick with Economics. IMO, Economics is rather broad (and also has an element of sociology, because afterall, it is still a social science), and will prepare you well for a career in finance (provided that you take as many finance/accounting classes as you can).</p>

<p>you say you have already 2 internships in finance? if they are good internships i would say you are already ahead of most applicants.</p>

<p>Your specific major is not a ticket to a specific job. Go with your gut and pick classes you truly enjoy, that will lead you in the direction you are meant to go.</p>
