[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lots of general business jobs out there. Most of these kids won't be doing anything academic with economics, but they absolutely can be working in the business world.[/quote] Not true. They will be competing with kids who have completed BS degrees in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Intl. Business, Human Resources, Investor Relations, Sports Mgmt., and on. Econ degree - then plan for a MBA to make yourself marketable or you better have a hook such as an Econ. degree from a T20. Econ degree on its own is only marginally better than Sociology/Psychology, African/Asian/Gender Studies, etc for a retail manager job at Walmart. Don't fool yourselves or your kids. Econ. degree is great as a stepping stone up (along with GMAT, LSAT) but not for an entry level position post BA degree. [/quote]
