[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you want to do STEM the major rarely matters. [b]There is a dance major that ended up in investment banking. [/b] As mentioned take general classes and attend information sessions to learn about different careers. Research and talk to people about different careers. While a prosperous career can be enticing most of the people that become lawyers, doctors and bankers for the money are miserable. Working just to work is just as miserable regardless of salary; I have done it at 20k and 100k.[/quote] The relevance of major is directly correlated to rank/prestige of school if you control for networking/getting hooked up with a job by someone you know. A dance major at jmu or umd or even uva is not getting a job at a bulge bracket investment bank. but yes, major becomes a bit more irrelevant if you go to hyps.[/quote]
