In Reply To: I'm curious about a couple of things: If you're an MBA grad, what major did you do and are you happy with that decision? Would you change it now if you had it to do over again? If you're looking at an MBA program, have you thought about your major? What do you plan to do? I ask because when I was applying to business school, I was unsure if a major even mattered. Throughout business school I just took classes that I thought I was most ignorant in. (Wharton will let you build pretty much any customized major you want.) As it turns out, I was only one class away from a Finance major, so I took another Finance class to get the major instead of sticking with my custom major. I've been pretty happy with that decision.
Message: If you're a current MBA, have you found that recruiters seem to care about your major?
