Ever wonder which college major is most likely to get you a job on Wall Street?
Business Insider turned to Emolument, a salary-benchmarking website that collects self-reported pay data, to find out which college majors are most common in finance.
They gathered data on 840 finance professionals in New York at the analyst, associate, vice president, and director level.
The respondents come from a number of firms, including Citigroup, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, as well as smaller banks, asset managers, and hedge funds. They are all front-office professionals, and two-thirds work at banks, while one-third works on the buy-side.
Emolument found that, while the clear majority of Wall Street professionals studied something related to finance, there are definitely a few history and geography majors out there.
So humanities students, don't give up hope.
