<p>Yes, except you seem to have no clue as to how competitive it is to get an i-banking or consulting job, even out of a school such as UPenn. In case you miss out on finance or consulting as an econ major, there is a very good chance that you will end up in a non-profit gig making like 30k a year, or head to grad school.</p>
<p>I went to an Ivy, majored in Econ, and I’ve known many kids from my school with 3.5+ GPA who didn’t even get a SINGLE first-round interview from any of the I-banks they applied to. Competition for I-banking or top consulting jobs are borderline insane. I know you have a hard time understanding what I am saying since you are still in high school, but you will see what I am saying when you are a junior or senior in college. My advice? Have a back up plan, and get a degree that will help you become marketable across wide range of jobs and employers, not just in finance.</p>
