| My brother and sister both majored in Econ. My brother became a real estate attorney. My sister worked for a bank for a while, then ended up getting an MBA at Columbia and works for a consulting group. She is only 29 now, so this wasn’t too long ago. |

| I’m an Econ major and ended up going to medical school. Not common in my experience though - most of my friends went into finance or consulting. |
