Finance + ? = great possibilites

Here’s something to consider:

USA Today claims that out of the 9 million Americans who are now millionaires, over 95% of them made their money one of three ways:

(1) entrepreneurship (starting their own business)
(2) real estate ownership/real estate development, or
(3) doing really well with their investments/portfolio

Now i know that it is also important to do what you really, really like–so if you really like history or the classics I would suggest that over anything else–but if you are really undecided, I’d say finance covers area #3, so the other major should be either #1 (entrepreneurship) or #2 (real estate)–both of which are also available through the business school. This also means you would probably only need to take an extra four or five courses at most.

P.S. I’m also not that keen on those I-banking jobs. They are for some people, but certainly not for everyone.
