I worked at GS, and FOR SURE, an MBA is the right way to go, but ull only get to work there if you go to an Ivy League, or smthing very close!

Well I think you may be confused so far. Management and Global Management would actually be "majors" that would fall under a Master of Business Administration Degree. You'd say for instance that you have an MBA with a concentration in Management or Global Management. Goldman Sachs is a company that is only going to hire elite individuals (i.e. those who graduate from a top ten business school such as Michigan, Stanford, Yale, Harvard, etc.). With these schools come strict standards that must be met for acceptance. You would likely need a G.P.A. during your undergraduate degree in the 3.5 range or higher, a GMAT score in the 700 range, and a couple of years of work experience after you finish your bachelors. There are very very few people who are accepted into an MBA program without at least 3 or 4 years of work experience in management after earning their BBA. Graduating from one of the top schools listed above you can expect to initially earn a base salary of $100,000 a year give or take $20K (this does not include bonuses which can substantially raise your salary). Within 5 years of starting at a company the typical salary for an MBA graduate will double. Now, we've established that you need an MBA. The proper Major that you'd want is Finance regardless of what you actually wind up doing. Every company is concerned about making money, and in the wake of the accounting scandals that have hit companies in the last few years a finance degree has become highly desirable. Just realize that it won't come quickly. You will have to apply yourself for more than 10 years (4 years undergrad, 4 years work experience, 2 years MBA) before you actually get to that job at Goldman Sachs that you want. Best of Luck.... Good Goals...
