<p>My friend at Northwestern tells me that an industrial engineering major can get any job that a business major or econ major can get + get the traditional industrial engineering jobs, is this true?</p>
<p>And for the record, ibanks and consulting firms do not care what you major but you have a better chance if the major is analytical (like business, industrial engineering, chemical engineering, economics, etc) because of the nature of the work. The only thing that ibanks and consulting firms care about is prestige of the school you go to.</p>
