But what is the perception of economics majors at USC and on the job market? I want to be in investment banking so am I better off with a Finance degree Penn State or economics at USC.

And I’m also hoping I get a lot of financial aid. My dad’s income is too high for financial aid but he has paid a tremendous amount of medical bills for my mother and will probably have to for the rest of her life because of serious medical complications. We are still waiting on USC’s financial aid offer but I am really anxious to see what happens.

I will also probably have to stay extra year at USC. So is USC worth it and should I go no matter what it takes?

Also, should I live on campus or at home to save money? I plan on joining a fraternity and having a lively social life…

Lastly, what is the likelihood of getting into Marshall once I’m already at USC? I would be majoring in economics and taking those classes that have nothing to really do with business school so it would just make things even more complicated. What should i do about that???
