[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside STEM degrees, the econ degree is probably the most valuable college degree to have in terms of the doors it opens for you. [/quote] Econ actually has the average highest career earning among liberal arts majors. This result is somewhat skewed, however, because (1) many schools don't offer a business degree, so kids who want to make money will gravitate toward Econ instead of other liberal arts; and (2) a disproportionate number of CEOs major in Econ, so there is a statistical skew at the high-end of the curve. But to OP's original question, Econ is a somewhat broad category, and job's and opportunities vary based on your focus. For example, students who are strong in math and study finance, can get a job on Wall Street, while others can do development work. [/quote]
