Currently a sophomore and I need to pick my major...any suggestions on the safest/best choice to get a good job..choices include management, finance, marketing, economics, or MIS

[akula]

the finance major does better than management, marketing, economics and MIS in graduate outcomes surveys

Why would you choose to major in something that you know absolutely nothing about? That's why half of all college graduates are working regular jobs. Forgive me if I misunderstood this thread.

I'm in my 3rd semester of general business so I know a little bit about each. My plan is to keep going so I do learn about the major I pick. My question is what's the safest major to pick to get a job. I guess I should rephrase my question as, Is any one major more competitive than the other?

[akula]

the answer also depends on your school
which school you at?

Many of my professors say that Accounting is one of the best majors because there is always a need for accountants. You'll need to get your CPA but then you open yourself up to the option of working for a company and later on starting your own accounting firm. It leaves you the option to start a your own company which is a reason I believe you are a member of this forum.

do something that you enjoy learning and see yourself doing for a long time since you are talking about getting a "good safe job"
