Management Sci majors work everywhere from research to investment banking to corporate finance. Take a look at the recruiters at UCSD for the econ major in general. F500 companies. That being said the entry level econ classes are easy but once you hit econometrics, it’s just as difficult as chemistry if not more. Don’t be fooled. Management Sci is math heavy as opposed to normal econ.

Don’t switch into a major without doing some research. For ex. if you want to go into accounting, the money/experience is at the Big 4 but be prepared to work very long hours. You’ll have to sit for the CPA exam too. Big 4 requires a high GPA for interviews. Other options are normal accounting jobs or working for the gov.
