Major in Economics or Finance / minor in CompSci

[ksanders]

<p>Hi, I’ve been thinking about what I want to major in at the University of Florida. I have a very strong interest in computers (mainly networking and systems engineering, mediocre programming), but I do not want to be a software engineer. I’m also interested in Accounting/Economics/Finance. I was just wondering what type of jobs are out there for this kind of combination. Your help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Idealy, I would like a job in a tech company, where I could gain valuable market experience as well as management.</p>

<p>Also, what would it take to get a job as something similar to a market analyst at firms like Piper Jaffray?</p>

<p>I’m also interested in IT/business consulting</p>
