[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d live to hear from people who actually graduated with an Econ major in 2015 or later, or from their parents. What was your/their first job out of college? [/quote]

I'll answer this one for you.  Son graduated from Michigan State (the horror!  Not a top 10, the poor guy. /s) in 2022.  First job was with a Tier 2 Business Defense Contractor in Business Dev.  Spent some time overseas and in US plants, then working military sales.  After 1.5 yrs applied for sales position in Federal Team at a FAANG.  First job paid $75k no commission, now base is $80k but big commission so making quite a bit more (I'm not sure exactly how much although I could ask him).

Full disclosure:  father and I have long carriers as execs in tech (him) and defense (me).  So while we didn't get him the jobs, he got lots of help and coaching behind the scenes.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing a specific example. I find these types of posts more helpful than generalities. And I’m thrilled for your son - what a great outcome![/quote]
