<p>Which one is better in job prospects with a bachelor's degree? I'm really interested in both. Also, I plan on either getting a J.D. or an M.B.A. eventually, depending on how the college years influence me.</p>
<p>Additionally, does anyone know of Binghamton, and can help me decide between IE vs. Accounting? I'm applying, but I don't know which one to choose for my designated major.</p>
<p>Without question industrial engineering, as long as you can handle the math.</p>
<p>Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Would Economics/Computer Science be preferable to Accounting/Economics?
My dream career is that of an economist. I wonder if a law background would help.</p>
<p>I think your best bet for getting into graduate level economics is to double major in economics and math.</p>
<p>I’m probably not going to go straight into grad school from undergrad, though.</p>
<p>I think an economics and computer science double major would be awesome. You should at least minor in math though if you want to be an economist.</p>
<p>Accounting isn’t going to help you very much with becoming an Economist. </p>
<p>You need to take as much math as possible. Industrial Engineering would definitely be better than accounting. Even a straight BS in Mathematics would be better than accounting.</p>
<p>Grad schools for Economics require a lot of math prerequisites to be met.</p>
<p>Majoring in math with some statistics courses would be the best way to become an economist. MBA and JD are not helpful at all. Engineering is only helpful for the math but straight Math is much better than engineering as you need more math than the average engineer does.</p>
