Default Re: Rank the business degrees

Econ probably won't preclude you from most finance jobs. However, if OSU has a business school and econ is not in the business school that might hurt you from a networking/job search point of view. Also, if you do finance you will probably get exposure to econ and accounting vs probably only econ in an econ major.

IMO, an econ major by itself will kill you if your'e attempting to get into any equity analysis or IB position (those which aren't macro-oriented, at least). Employers want you to start contributing right away and don't want to waste their times on someone with no direct finance knowledge. This is true of where I'm currently at, where I've worked in the past, and where I've interviewed at over the past year.
