Employment in everything but engineering, correct?[/quote]

Apart from molecular engineering, UChicago doesn’t have engineering at all.  [/quote]

It's an econ school, why does it need engineering?  [/quote]

UChicago is great for humanities, social sciences, math, physics. Fully agree that there is no need for engineering. [/quote]

One third majoring in econ by graduation.[/quote]

It may be because Math/Physics/Stats/Engineering is so hard...it's the default[/quote]
Uchicago economics is very very hard. It’s because economics has the best outcomes coming out of college. A physics degree is almost entirely useless if you aren’t spending most of your time in other courses.[/quote]

I would think Physics at UChicago would set you up nicely for a quant job. I think they even have a large quant trading club and I see Physics/Math/Stats majors. Impressive club![/quote]
What’s the purpose of going all the way with a major as hard as physics to get a quant job? Just do math or economics and you’ll have a much easier time explaining why you even did the degree you did.[/quote]

My kid is in physics at Chicago.  It is no joke.  So much work, concepts are difficult, and grades are low. But the reason she is in physics is because she loves the subject.  It’s that simple. [/quote]
