Message: I'm a junior economics major at a top Ivy League school, and I'm thinking about what I'm going to do after graduation. I've never had a summer job, but I've had a couple of part time jobs in college. My GPA is a 2.73 right now, and I don't have any extracurriculars so far in college. What is consulting/i-banking like, and how would I know if this is the path I should take? It seems like most economics majors at my school go for consulting/i-banking jobs. Also, is it very important that I get a job this summer? Should I try to get a consulting or i-banking type job this summer through my school's recruiting program? What other types of jobs can economics majors get? Advice is appreciated.
