Julius: if and when you get there, you'll pick something you want to study. Most Yalies choose a major that they really are interested and with a lot less consideration of whether it's viewed as "good" on the outside. The Econ or EEP major are fine for later business-related fields. There is no finance or accounting majors although classes in these are available to undergrads. There's a lot to be achieved before getting an IBanking job or becoming an executive, much less a CEO.
