When I worked at Deloitte and Touche (CPAs) we hired a lot of econ degree grads from the UC's and Stanford,because most of the core classes were the same as they were for business degrees. Last time I checked, only CAL offered an undergrad business degree, all the other UCs and Stanford offered Econ degrees.
Back in the day a CPA with an engineering degree was in great demand by large accounting firm$ and large corporation$.
At the local CPA firm I work at, we have a econ degree guy from UCLA and a math major from UCD working as CPAs. Each makes more then 110k as a new managers, not counting benefits. The only difference between the two is the math major had to take a lot more classes to be eligible for the CPA exam.
