Ask yourself why you want to go to b-school first, what do you want to get out of it and where would you like to work after b-school.
If you are just in it for the money then I'd suggest you to look harder and find your passion first. Most post b-school jobs will require you to work at least 60 hrs a week, sometimes double that. so if you don't like what you will be doing and is only in it for the money, it is a waste of your life, really.
He didn't imply anything regarding "being in it for the money".
As someone with a similar background (product dev/financial engineering), I think I understand the underlying motivation behind OP's question; our odds of admissions are sooo bad (relatively) that we need to tailor the "right" major in our applications to pass though that damn admissions barrier, regardless of where our true interests lie.
My advice (fwiw) would be to look into the tech product management/entrepreneurship/analytics majors, and frame your application around those majors.
disclaimer: this is advice from someone who've yet to land one wait-list (let alone an admit).
