How does a history major get into international banking?

I would assume some sort of pedigree is involved.

You mean like a degree from an Ivy? No, not at all.

You got lucky

Not at all. Look into large banks.

NP. This is why the whole “you can’t make money with a liberal arts degree” stuff is so silly. This practice has been common for decades. In many industries, they are looking for qualities (e.g., analytical ability), not specific undergraduate training.

LOL drawing a conclusion from some postings by a couple of random posters here.

Sorry numbers and data don't lie.

Economics is a liberal art in BA track.

By the definition, natural sceiences and even computer science is liberal arts.
Econ is good especailly paired with some STEM minors like CS, statisctics, data scene etc.

I looked. You got lucky.

Top investment banking and consulting firms hire from some humanities majors here and there, but obviously most from business, econ, math/statics, and stem majors.

Some data

https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools

Your contention is not supported by your cited data, which talks exclusively about schools they target/hire from most (which, yes, are disproportionately “elite”).

oh yes when they hire from humanities kids, they hire from those top schools there.

Are you seriously dreaming that the top IB and consulting firms would go to a mediocre schools and hire humanties kids? LOL

People here need real information, not some pipe dream stories.

Not my experience at all. Everyone in my training class was a liberal arts major and a few were from regular state schools.

+1. Same with training programs in pharmaceutical industry. Very few science majors. Pretty much all DS’s class were liberal arts majors.
