Typo on my part; I'm averse not to theoretical econ (I actually like it a lot) but to overly quantitative econ; I'm basically worried about majoring in econ because, in high school, i've only taken one year of calculus, whereas most students in college who major in econ have taken two years, if not more.

I was browsing Princeton Review's website; according to them, many lawyers switch over to i-banking; this perplexes me a bit. If an I-banker needs a strong foundation in finance and accounting (according to princeton review), then how would a lawyer, who likely majored in something humanities-related as an undergrad and likely didn't do much finance-related in law school, be prepared? Would simply practicing law prepare you adequately for the job?

Perplexed but curious,

Gatsby
