Will having my own student income negatively influence my eligibility of financial aid?

If so, is it better to not get a job at all and just stick to volunteering? #job-search #student #financial-services #financial-aid

How will an undergraduate business degree in finance compare with a degree in economics from schools that do not offer undergraduate business majors like top ranked ivies?
As a senior in high school I've applied primarily to business schools interested in pursuing a degree in finance and/or information systems. However, at many "elite" universities like the Ivy Leagues, undergraduate business degrees are not offered. The closest equivalent seems to be economics, econometrics, or something of the kind. How does this effect career paths and competitiveness? Would I be better off attending a undergraduate business school even if I was accepted to schools like these? Any insight on the matter would be great! #finance #financial-services #degree-selection #business
