[quote=Anonymous]I'm seeking advice on a major for my child, who has a passion for history and social studies but also wants a career with a decent income. She's not interested in teaching, dislikes science, excels in math, but doesn't love it. She's a talented writer but not fond of writing, and she's an excellent public speaker with natural charisma. Many suggest she consider a career in sales, but I don't even know what that means. Sales in what?? What would one major in?

She has to choose what she wants to do, but I'm looking to offer her suggestions to research. I thought about economics, but I don't know much about it. Is there a general economics major, and what career opportunities exist? Can you make a good living with just a bachelor's or does one need an advanced degree to make money? How does it compare to demanding fields like BigLaw? How is the field for women? What high school classes should she take besides AP Statistics and AP Economics?

Also, exploring data analytics as it involves analytical skills. In history, she loves DBQs and analyzes documents. Does one major in data analytics or is there another name for such a degree? What are career prospects? Is an advanced degree essential for a decent income? What high school courses should she consider for a data analytics degree?

Open to opinions, kind and harsh. Thank you. [/quote]
