<p>Which firms and jobs those new grad from Econ, UC Davis mostly got?</p>
<p>Is that possible to get a job in Wall Street if one has like very high GPA?</p>
<p>UC Davis? It's possible, but unlikely. Wall Street tends to recruit top tier students from top tier universities (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Haas, Stanford, ETC). Especially in this grim economy, landing a gig on Wall St. is pretty tough. It also depends on your career path. I haven't talked to many, or have I heard of many that have transferred from Davis to Wall St. Again, it's possible, but tough.</p>
<p>LOL, the career paths of a lot of people I know at UCD is what prompted me to try and transfer to UCB, sweet jesus I can dream at least...</p>
<p>But for serious, UCB has recruiters from Goldman Sachs, MS, ML, etc, all of the top firms...</p>
<p>Davis has people like Target, and Walgreen's show up to the job fairs.</p>
<p>Yes, I am praying my transfer goes through :)</p>
<p>A close friend of mine graduated from UCD a few years ago with a major in econ and a minor in communications. He ended up selling financial securities for a little over a year (seemed like the most miserable job on earth to me). He did ultimately end up getting a job at cisco though in some type of accounting capacity. This was really a big motivation for me to switch my major from econ to engineering.... remember econ is not a business or finance degree and most of the top financial jobs are just not really going to be available to econ majors.</p>
