Business Insider turned to Emolument, a salary benchmarking website that collects self-reported pay data, to find out which college majors are most common in finance.

They gathered data on 2,800 finance professionals in New York at the analyst, associate, vice president, and director, and managing director level.

Emolument found that, while the clear majority of Wall Street professionals studied something related to finance, there are definitely a few history and geography majors out there.

So humanities students, don't give up hope.
