<p>For ibanking, I think your school plays a bigger part. In an ivy, I think you can probably get by with majoring in anything. From a non/semi-target, I’d say finance. Econ, Math, and even humanities can make ibankers, since the job itself isn’t hard (it’s just really rigorous).</p>
<p>For hedge funds, you have a few more options, and it really depends what you want to do. If you want to be a quant, do engineering, math, physics, of comp sci. If you want to be a trader, do finance. Either way, it’s tough to get a job from a big hedge fund (other than maybe citadel) out of undergrad if your not a math genius.</p>
