<p>what is the highest paying undergrad major at Davis after bachelors degree?</p>
<p>And how is the managerial economics major and how high is the pay?</p>
<p>You shouldn't major in something you don't like just for "high pay." Besides, there are too many intangible variables to take into account. Interviews, recommendations, interpersonal skills, among other factors are very important.</p>
<p>Typically, engineers make the most money right out of college.</p>
<p>I believe people with a management/econ degree typically earn around $40,000 when they first enter the work force.</p>

P.S.: advice - get Ph.D. in Econ and you'll be making a lot of money</p>
<p>arghhh Phd, i really dont want to go beyond masters</p>
<p>hey guys, im a highschool junior and i am thinking of applying to Davis since i live so close and i know ppl there. </p>
<p>what major at Davis (NO Phd!) should i be looking at if my dream is to open up and run an establishment of Hotels, restuarants, and Casinos all over the world? someone told me managerial economics might be a good idea, is that true or are there better majors for me?</p>
<p>...french...</p>
<p>apply to cornell! zipper</p>
<p>but i really want to be in-state, and its cheaper. thats why im deciding between berkeley and davis. (i live near both) so do you guys think managerial econ will be good if i plan on opening up an establishment of Hotels, restuarants, and Casinos all over the world?</p>
<p>^I think so.</p>
<p>i would say genetics?? i know davis has one of the top genetics programs so they prepare you well so you can find a good job in a biomed lab or something. this field is in great demand right now so i'm sure the pay is really good.</p>
<p>Engineering majors are by far the highest paid by starting salary, especially CS, ECE, and ChemE.</p>

Earnings for engineers vary significantly by specialty, industry, and education. Even so, as a group, engineers earn some of the highest average starting salaries among those holding bachelors degrees.

But at the same time top10% of engineers don't make as much money as top10% of mathematicians or economists.</p>
<p>Zipper, if I were you I'd go to Berkeley. They have Haas undergrad, at which you can get a BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration), while Davis only has Managerial Econ/Economics.
I've taken Econ 1A/1B, Stats13, Accounting 11A/taking 11B, and let me tell you this...I have learned nothing about management/hospitality. However, I am a freshman so perhaps there is more later.</p>
<p>Here are schedules for MGT courses Fall, Winter, Spring</p>

<p>There are some classes in ARE/ECON sections which you may want to look at also. However, for if you are going to do Business for sure, you should definately go to Berkeley and internally transfer to Haas if you aren't already in Haas.</p>
<p>BTW, Managerial Economics is Impacted, which means you have to take some courses b4 you can get that as your major. </p>
<p>But a lot of students at UCD still graduate with Managerial Economics and Economics degrees.</p>
<p>During a recent internship/career fair on campus, there were no companies hiring freshman for business-related positions at the freshman level (basically all for Juniors/Seniors); meanwhile many were hiring for freshman Chem/Bio majors and there were tons of Wineries hiring too.</p>
<p>However! There is the Internship and Career Center which can help you find internships for the summer and schoolyear, but I haven't gone there so I can't tell you much about it. But here's a link</p>

<p>ilikeoranges - how do you like Davis and how easy are the classes, also what do all the students at UCD with Managerial Economics and Economics degrees do after they graduate?</p>
<p>Zipper - I'm in a similar situation, and actually, Haas isn't necessarily our best bet right now. You have ambitious plans, so it sounds like you would be going to a business grad school. Most business schools prefer their students to branch out and get degrees in other areas...</p>
<p>yes inpltclycorrect , that is a reason i am considering berkeley, cuz i will prolly attend grad school, and also, davis is less competitive than berkeley and the environment seems more friendlier, plus a friend who goes to Davis told me that the school is clean,modern, and dorms are nice compared to berkeley.</p>
<p>I think UC Davis is alright, it's really easy to make friends. The only problem I have is that I feel that people at other schools (NYU Stern, Berkeley Haas, etc) will be preferred over me even if I do extremely well.</p>
<p>As for the easiness of classes, here are the stats from my Fall and Winter classes.</p>
<p>ECN (Prof Helms): Roughly 110/330 got A's and 110/330 got B's</p>
<p>STA (Prof Wang): 130/250 A's, 78/250 B's</p>
<p>The website doesn't show the statistics for my Accounting class, but I'm willing to bet a lot of A's since 87%+ was A, last quarter.</p>
<p>I got a 3.9 gpa during Fall quarter, and I was able to see an 'Internal Transcript' which is used by the school and shows your rank. (Basically only staff has access to this, and it is not used for Grad schools), but even with a 3.9 I was rank 97/2500 (roughly) in the 09 class and college (Letters and Science), so a lot of people got 4.0's. I was about top .5%.</p>
<p>However, I hear that higher level courses are more difficult. If you look at this:
<a href="http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/academicinfo/honors.html%5B/url%5D">http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/academicinfo/honors.html</a></p>
<p>for the top 2 percent (summa cum laude), it is 3.882 (for Letters and Science), so people's GPAs have dropped by a lot.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what people do after they graduate, but I would guess some low/mid level management position in California.</p>
<p>I am giving serious consideration to transfering.</p>
<p>okay but if I major in Managerial Econ, how easy is it to get my MBA. and how would the pay be with an MBA?</p>
<p>what im saying is cant u finish up your 4 years as a major in managerial econ at Davis, and than apply to the MBA program at Berkeley? or are chances very slim for Davis graduates to get into the MBA program at Davis?</p>
<p>Majoring in Managerical Econ has almost nothing to do with your MBA. Business schools look primarily at work experience, GMAT, and leadership skills. However, it may be beneficial to go to the best school that you can so you can get a better job out of undergrad and work a few years and then be more competitive for an MBA.</p>
