Which Major: Accounting,Finance or Economics.

<p>Post-undergraduate: Masters in the chosen field from an IVY, and MBA in the long term.
Career Goal: A stable job with a decent salary package.
Fields that interest me: Primary- Banking; Investment and Financial. Analyst.
Secondary- Auditing. </p>

<p>P.S: If I stay in my country, I would be doing a BSC Accounting and Finance, since it's the most reputable degree.
Most people suggest that I pursue an accounting major in US, but it's common as much as BBA is in US universities. Also, If I pursue Accounting, will I need to get the CPA and CFA etc etc in-order to break into banking?</p>

<p>Just a side note, accounting will NOT help you break into investing banking unless you go to one of the “target” schools. A finance/economics major from a top school will serve you better in that regard.</p>

<p>Agree with NYCguy2020…if you want to do banking, you will want to do finance/econ. Accounting is different, and a CPA won’t help you for ibanking. CFA would be more applicable, but as NYCguy says, it’s more important to have a finance degree from a top school…</p>

<p>Agreed accounting/CPA generally is not the best path to banking. I did have one coworker who ended up in banking. He left E&Y as a manager and went to Harvard. I know one other guy who did the same, I can’t recall where he went for b-school, but it was a target school. </p>
