<p>A better way to go into banking or private equity is to avoid a “dime a dozen” bachelors in business or economics altogether. Instead, major in any of the sciences or engineering. Then pad it with finance courses. I can tell you I did a lot of problem solving getting my BS in molecular biology years ago. Genetics, chemistry, biochemistry, and math labs and courses will get you to think critically. Business courses are easy, by comparison. I know, I took a ton of business courses too.</p>
