[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is interested in business/finance/marketing. Do you need specific undergrad major to do MBA later? Are there some undergrad degrees that make it so you don't need an MBA?[/quote]

Depends on what he wants immediately after college.[b] A job in IB/Finance/Accounting? He isn't getting that job with a history major. [/b]Any job in business in say marketing, hr, operations, events? he can land a job but in the big ticket companies he will compete with others who have an undergrad degree in the specialization.[/quote]

He is if that History degree is from HYPSM. My husband is an MD at a BB and some of their summer interns from those schools have degrees in History, English, or a foreign language. That being said, the majority are math or econ majors.

Tell your kid to strategize what he wants his career to look like (what role at what firm) and go on LinkedIn to see the resumes of the people who have that job. Their school, their major, their internships, etc.
