If it's from Stanford, pretty much whatever you want. So, basically, investment banking or data science (those are still two separate jobs right?).

  "If it's from Stanford, pretty much whatever you want." That not true at all. The name of the university can only get you so far. For example, if you have a climate-related degree, can you really compete with Stanford CS majors for a SDE job? Or with ME majors for a product design position? IMO if you get into Stanford and can pay for the degree, it would be a waste to spend it in a major like that unless you're really passionate and have very specific goals. "So, basically, investment banking or data science" Well, those are definitely not "whatever you want".
