I know several people who worked on Wall Street at high-profile brokerage firms, and they majored in History, Economics, Mathematics, and Political Science, English, and Philosophy at top-tier liberal arts colleges. I learned from them that your major matters less than your drive, the prestige of your college, your GPA, and your connections.
They also all left Wall Street after a few sleepless years, a couple of ulcers, a few broken relationships, and a few million bucks, and did what they REALLY wanted to do. (Brokerage careers pay amazingly well, but the actual job stinks.)

There are many different jobs and it depends what kind of work you have your eye on. But looking at the current list of vacancies, it is clear that the best subjects to land you a job there would appear to be Economics, Accountancy or Business Studies.

You don't really need a degree. You need nerves of steel, an iron gut, an a morals lobotomy.

None. You just have to know someone.
