Nope you are totally wrong

Business prof back to tutor you on basic probability.  Your link shows the percentage of Wall Street employees by college major.

Accounting, business, finance:  48%,
Economics:  20%,
Engineering:  9%,
Math and Statitics:  7%.

But there are over 10 times as many business majors as economics majors, around 3 times as many business majors as engineering majors, and around 14 times as many business majors as math and statistics majors.  This means business majors actually have a smaller chance of making it to Wall Street than those other majors!  Thank you for proving my point. :lol:

Of course, business might be a fine choice for some people.  You could be a business major at UVA, taking extra electives in STEM.  Or you could be an applied economics major at Northwestern/Dartmouth/Brown/Columbia taking available electives in financial economics and STEM.  The education and opportunities would be similar.  Heck, Columbia students can just take the subway to interviews on Wall Street.[/quote]

An econ degree from Northwestern/Dart/Brown/Columbia would be remarkably more valuable than an undergrad business degree from just about anywhere except Wharton.[/quote]

Your mom told you that?  :lol:

Northwestern is severely overrated and over-hyped.
It's three most popular majors are econ, psychology, communication/journalism.

It's econ students are obviously behind business students from NYU, Georgetown, Cornell, Notre Dame, UVA, Berkeley, etc. etc.

Northeastern psychology: $49533
Communication/journalism: $53833

People need to stop pulling $hit out of their arsse

Speak with data, sources, references.

Still waiting for numbers for Econ graduates vs Business graduates from T25 schools.
