First job in 2000? Not high, but they wouldn’t have thought it was, based on my first job being at a non profit. I had money form another source though so looking back that’s likely why they never asked and it never occurred to me to share.

How does a history major get into international banking?

Not PP but I was a history major in college and my first job was in international banking as well! The big banks have great training programs and generally don’t care what your degree is in. I started in Letters of Credit!

College?

Me too. The Fox viewers want to believe all liberal arts majors are in debt Starbucks baristas living in their parents basements.

Oldest DC majored in American Studies in 2017 and makes a great living working in a property investment firm in Los Angeles.

saying you majored in "American Studies" is generally a lot like saying you went to school "near Boston" lol.

It is NOT true that they only take from certain schools. It is true that a large percentage of entry level IB analysts attended the same 20 or 30 schools.
