<p>"Completely wrong. Economics majors are one of the highest paid out of undergraduate. I’m too lazy to get the easy facts floating around on the internet; just do a simple google search. Most CEO’s prefer economics majors. You are right about research jobs: you need a ms or phd. "</p>
<p>Okay I agree there. Economics majors are well paid out of undergraduate. I guess I would rephrase and say that when it comes to UC Berkeley, Economics as an undergrad major doesn’t have the job power that Business Admin from Haas has.</p>
<p>Now a masters in econ from Berkeley is a totally different story, as would an MBA from Haas. But I think that when it comes to the bachelor degrees, Haas is a more solid choice for people who see their education ending after a Bachelor’s degree. Or, at least if they want to work immediately.</p>
<p>if u go to UCB’s career center page and look the average salaries of their econ grads vs their business admin grads, the econ grades have a higher average (tho not by much).</p>
<p>lol @ laker, man you are either really biased or a total ■■■■■.</p>
<p>for an undergrad degree engineering>econ>finance>business, and then you get a masters in business administration, to prove that not only do you have a quantitative background but that you can manage others that do as well. majoring in business admin for your b.a. is a total waste. my information comes from corporate recruiters and from multiple brothers that work in the industry. one ib and one financial analyst.</p>
