Both… i find myself in a fix right now… Part of me wants to get employed and perhaps become an investment banker. For this I know I need a great GPA and not so much of the math stuff. However, I also may want to do an Economics PHD and this requires aLOT of math… almost a double major. This means i could mess up my GPA…

So, while trying to keep my options open, do you think I am actually hurting my chances of getting employed at an investment bank or a consulting company?? Will these employers prefer a high gpa with easy classes over a lower GPA filled with tough math courses?
