What major makes the most $$$ ?

<p>What should I major in if I want to make a lot of money?</p>

<p>patent Law</p>

<p>i mean what undergrad business major</p>

<p>Printing. you can work for the U.S. Mint and make a lot of money.</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>(need 10 characters so this is it :o)</p>

<p>Finance, econ, and accounting usually set you on the right path for making a lot of money.</p>

<p>patent law is really good?</p>

<p>You should major in engineering if you want to be a patent lawyer</p>

<p>petroleum engineering</p>

<p>EWWWWW...I despise science.</p>

<p>I'd go with finance.</p>

<p>One thing about engineering, medicine or law-it' going to provide a steady income, but you won't be sitting on truckloads of money.</p>

<p>yes i hate science also but i do agree that engineering does not make a lot of money in the end, but i think most petroleum engineers can start at 70000-75000 first year out of college while most johns hopkins first year undergraduates start at 37000 average</p>

<p>But medicine, law, or engineering will provide the means to pursue other ventures when one has made enough money.</p>

<p>Not everyone with a business/finance degree can make truckloads of money.</p>

<p>Actually Engineering is a pretty good major if you're interested in getting into Hedge Funds, they're mainly focused on hiring quants, not plain old finance majors.</p>

<p>Both medicine and law can provide other excellent careers further down the line. Just because you initially start as something doesn't mean you have to continue it.</p>

<p>The CEO at Lazard actually started as a lawyer at Cravath.</p>

<p>There is no set major/path to make you a fortune. It's much more a matter of the path you make.</p>

<p>how much do Ibanking associates from Wharton and Harvard MBA programs make?? Including base pay, bonus and signing bonuses</p>

<p>Analyst with BA/BS/BBA: $60k base+$10k signon+$30-$60k bonus=$100k to $130k
Associate with MBA/JD/MS/DBA: $100k base+$15k signon+$100k to $150k bonus=$215k-$265k</p>

<p>good luck getting into Wharton and Harvard MBA. It will be hard.</p>

<p>If they really want to get a Harvard MBA, they could try doing a stint in Iraq. that should certainly help.</p>

<p>what does an analyst do?</p>

<p>Number-crunching.</p>

<p>I'm considering getting a dual degree from Berkeley in engineering and bussiness. Would me getting the bussiness degree help that much in getting into a top 5 MBA program or getting a consulting or I banking job or should I just focus on engineering.</p>
