<p>I actually think that UCLA and UCB and u’s of this level are ones that do well in placing its academic majors into the trades. I know of polisci, history majors that have done well with their stand-alone bac degrees in the world of finance (but not related to WS).</p>
<p>I see that you’re not particularly fond of bio majors. 
This, I’m assuming would include the offshoots of bio within the life sciences, like UCLA’s MIMG, MCDB, and others. I agree that if one can attach another major or minor, even something like chem, this would help a student’s job prospects if medicine were not a possibility. Chem would place the student in more of the hard sciences, which probably includes things like physics and math, which I think would make the candidate more job-prospect worthy than a straight life science, so in that regard I agree. I think more students are becoming wiser and majoring in bio or a more detailed bio field, and minoring in or attaching another major in, say, econ.</p>
