Finance and Economics are the best majors

[Former300lber]

Lol 130k? That it brah? My dad make's over 160k a year, after paying his employee's off etc, (He runs a small electrical company in a big city) I'm trying to do something else other then that, but that's my fall back, take over dad's business..

Btw, He never even finished grade 11.

[GoneTooSoon]

Unless you go to Harvard you're not getting a good job with that piece of **** econ/finance major. You're just a liberal arts slack jawed ***got who can't do math.


Math major>>>>>>>>>>>fast food management>>>>econ/finance

Outside of engineering, economics is a top 5 degree in starting and mid career salary

[HubertL]

Forreal doe. So i'm chilling in training and the MD giving a speech is like ok how many of you are bus/fin/econ majors and 80% of the analysts raise their hands. I'm sitting there lol'ing at the other lib arts majors (they're cool though 'cause they're from elite schools). Anyway the average salary in my analyst class is 70k, signing bonus is 10k and last year's year end bonus average was 50k = 130k.

The average age is 22.5 Come at us.

Bro u in nyu stern? Cuz I'm in the CAS and I'm planning on majoring in Econ. I would love to transfer to stern tho but i heard its impossible

[LimitBreak]

Econ = no jobs unless you get a PhD ( I was doing my masters before) or find an academic position of Gov't or work as a mathematician/statistician in certain jobs including being an actuary etc..

Advice: Take advanced econometric classes and calculus 3 + Differential equations and linear Algebra, you'll need it to be a true economist.

Finance = You'll be unemployed or work in a crappy job like my friends (4 of them), unless you have 5+ years work experience and CFA + connections, too many unemployed profs to compete against.

Accounting with CPA = you'll get priority to be Hired as financial Analyst, you better believe it.

Market = lol unless you study advanced statistics and econometrics and do analysis.

At 60k a year? Awesome. Not srs.


A math major can do everything an econ major can do and 500x better.

lul mate he's obviously in his 40s-50s.... thats not so 'massive'

it's called working your way up.

sure you wont land an investment banking gig unless you go to ivy or network well, but who comes out of college making 100K+? this is why i hate the misc when it comes to college. they think if you dont come out of school nearing a 100k salary youre a failure. 99% of graduates at age 22 are going to be making in the 50k range prob less. its about how your work your ass of then and work your way up.

60k a year out of college is awesome you ****ing derp.

you have the knowledge of a squirrel. get educated and be realistic.

Or you could be an engineer and earn well over 100k , phucking logic not even once

Considering I've completed 75% of the math classes needed for a math major I can say that's fairly unlikely

160k is poor man's salary, hate to break it to you but your dad is barely above lower middle class

lol wtf?? not even close, way to pull figures out of your ass.

Average wage for Engineers is 65K GTFO

LMAO like what?

Calc I-III?

[ChristianFoley]

Unless you go to a target school you're going to be making 55K w/ finance and will need a graduate degree to work w/ Econ.

[Former300lber]

My dad barely even works, that's the funny thing.. Maybe puts in 20 hours a week to meet up with other contractors, and eat lunch.

He did put in his time tho

Would you say NYU is a target school? (No misc standards pls)

[LimitBreak]

Calc I-III?

True hard Economics degrees that get jobs take the following courses:

Econometrics I-III (if you don't know what's econometrics look it up)
Calc I-III
Linear Algebra
Differential Equations
Advanced Statistics
Hands on Analysis and Econometrics labs
Forecasting I-II
Advanced micro (derive all theory equations)
Advanced Macro (derive all theory equations)
Mathematical Economics I-II

[GoneTooSoon]

Econ/stats double major

A total of 12 different pure math classes were taken

[Fsharpasharp]

Econometrics I-III (if you don't know what's economerics look it up)
Calc I-III

Forecasting I-II

That's not 75% of a math major. It's about 15%. Most of my STEM major friends who aren't even a math major/minor have taken DE and LA (gpa boosters), lmao



Point being econ is pig shiit easy

[NeverGiveUp87]

OP pls. Are you mad that Rooney makes way more money than you? He's also ugly as phuck. In general, money does not equal happiness.

BS, most of STEM majors require Calc I-II and basic statistics , others require also III, engineering require Linear Algebra as well.

Advanced statistics ? Econometrics I-III (econ math) ? Forecasting

I also forgot Mathematical Economics I-II

I was doing a masters degree from some public university and didn't finish the masters with less than 3 classes, but finished all the math aspects of it, many classmates had math undergrad and sucked in hands on analysis and econometric. New Age Econ PhD should rival PhD in Stats.

P.S. most econ major choose the easy classes and don't choose much math and end up with crappy degrees, there is a difference.

[HeeHeeShamone]

Recent econ degree brah checking in. Want to do PhD eventually but i have a lot to do before that becomes a possibility. For now, I want to try to get my foot in the door with actuary work.

[Misc_Lurker]

Econ checking in. Will I make it brahs?

[Steviejay90]

Is it really all about the money? Wtf drives people to study business, finance, accounting, etc besides money? Never understood how someone can grow a passion for that...

I hear you i do Accounting and its death

But believe it or not, i find Economics and Investments pretty interesting to learn

With Economics, forces that explain our current living conditions and prices, and where we may be in the future

Investments, wealth creation and different means to increase your wealth substantially, its amazing what you can learn.

[gainsgirl]

lol. i was an econ major to and do S&T now. its a cool major once you get past the introductory and intermediate basics and start taking applied econ classes where you get to see how all the principles you learn are used in real life.
"free time" at age 22 is overrated. most IB guys have just enough free time and money to go out on weekend nights and pick up chicks. the rest of the time they are building their careers so they'll have even more wealth & status...thus appealing to even more chicks. its a win/win. if you're a female banker, you have constant access to rich guys.

[straightrippin3]

business econ bro checking in

[maliguy]

You are poor. Not ballin. Yo daddy never made it to forbes richest. you aint worth nothing. my father is worth more than u, and u are a peasent in my eyes. you only make 62m in a year. What a joke, the average american family makes that much. You arent nothing but lower middle class in my eyes. ur carrer is a joke just like ur paycheck. u think u rich cause u make millions, no. You are basic in front of me. you were broke as a child, a peasent. you had to save money and take advantage of sales. you lived the struggle. please my rolls royce has a solid gold grill. You can only impress your broke cheap low class followers cause they think 500k is a lot of money. you are a peasent. a serf. nothing in my eyes.

[Alyxx]

With the job market 60K starting for noname school brahs will be good stem or not.
Anyways OP tell me the lowdown on the ibanking gig you got and how much math. Is it true they put lib arts majors in some quant crash course for everything you need to know?
