My daughter is a finance major at LSU. I think it's a good fit for her, but I have no idea if there might be a better one.
I think she'd be better off if she majored in sucking dicks. No glass ceiling in that industry. Sky is the limit.

Got a BS and MA in Economics. Took a lot of the same classes as Finance majors at Alabama. A lot of smart people who got really good jobs from both of those majors my year. Accounting students tend to go get their masters and then get a good job/CPA. All the other majors in business seem to be: good jobs for the best, eh.. for everyone else.

Major in the highest technical application that you can handle- that means acct, finance, and econ(if it is in the business dept at your school).

Accounting is always in demand. A company can't simply not comply with accounting rules and regulations. Great pay.
IS is next. Computers are needed for everything.
Then finance. Most of what finance does someone with limited background could do (not talking CFA).
Marketing is blah to me. Advertising budgets are some of the first things to get cut during hard times.

For an extra year in school, she can get that MBA.

IYAM if you're a finance major you might as well go the full monte and major in accounting.

I graduated with an Econ degree last year. I'm making $75,000 right now and I'm actually just about to switch jobs, so here's to hoping I'll get more.
Econ is really not even considered business anymore, at Auburn it isn't even part of the business program. Econ teaches you to critically think while learning social skills and how to analyze every situation. I can't even tell you how useful these skills have been to me. Also, I understand money, investing, and how to make more of it better than probably 98% of people in this country. But then again, my minor was finance as well.
I've always seen it as Econ > Finance > Accounting > all else.
You have a WAYYY higher potential to make more money in Econ than in the other 2 professions. Hell the starting salary of Econ majors is much higher than the 2.
ETA: Also every Economics major I have met have all seemed to be incredibly intelligent. Most of them are very wealthy (a few investment bankers, area managers, ect). And not many people doing Economics so when you meet another you say "eyyyy you went through all that shite too!?"
Humble brag.
