If you want a good paying job out of undergrad, yes it does matter. If you go on to graduate school for your professional training, then no.</p>
<p>Do a search on monster and take a look at job requirements. They always say, related major.
Maybe you can get the job without having the exact major, but it’s going to be more challenging.</p>
<p>Imaging your a recruiter for a company that gets 100’s of resumes a day for the same job. Now imagine if you where trying to find the best candidate for your job opening. Which resumes would you put in the review pile vs. the discard pile. At least this has been my experience what I’ve heard especially during tough times.</p>
<p>It would be nice if a recruiter would chime in. </p>
<p>So unless your daddy owns the company, or you have strong networks within the company, I’d do what I can to improve my chances.</p>
