I want to go into a career in something in investment banking or something similar and am wondering what undergraduate degree to get. I was thinking of double majoring in accounting and finance or finance and economics with maybe a minor in statistics. I’m just looking for advice on what would work best.
Any degree with a quantitative focus will do, including math. There are actually a lot of engineering majors who go into investment banking, especially industrial engineering, but all of the majors you suggested would also work just fine. Finance and statistics would be a particularly good combination. The major investment banking firms like to hire from the top universities, so if you are still in high school, be preparing and aiming for the best university or highest ranked business school you can get into and afford. Be sure to do related summer internships throughout college, and get involved in business and investing clubs and competitions.
