What major is worth more?

<p>I'll have to decide where to go also based on the academic path I wanna follow.</p>

<p>Right now I'm in between Rollins and Stetson.
At Stetson I would get a BSBA in Finance and a BS in Actuarial Science.
At Rollins I would either get a BA in Economics or a BS in International Business, and either a double major or a minor in Political Science.</p>

<p>But now I'm wondering is it worth more a Finance/Actuarial Science degree, an Economics/Political Science degree, an International Business/Political Science degree, or an International Business/Economics degree?</p>

<p>My ultimate goal is to work in an investment firm, such as an investment bank or an hedge fund or a private equity firm. But I wanna go to a top graduate school (Business School) first, either right out of college or after a couple of years of experience. What plan of study would help me the most? And what college could help me the most to get into a top graduate school?</p>

<p>You won’t get into a top business school without something in the neighborhood of 5 years of solid business experience. </p>

<p>If you want investment banking, any of those majors will do. The key will be your internships, for which you want to keep your grades high and network early and often. </p>

<p>Do what sounds like the most fun.</p>

<p>Neither Stetson nor Rollins will help you land an IB job out of college unless you have some ridiculous networking going.</p>

<p>Your best bet would be go the school you feel better about, excel, land a job after graduation. Get a few years of experience, get into a top 5 business school and then try to break into IB.</p>
