[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Questions like this always make me wonder how little people know about the working world. Is it because of family businesses, SAHP, or something else.

An economics degree is very versatile for entry level jobs in banking, finance, corporate research, and other research based jobs. You do need an advanced degree in most cases to have the title of "Economist" in just about any organization, private, public or international organization.[/quote]

Not OP, but DH and I are both lawyers, so we didn't know what our DS would do with his engineering degree.  I didn't ask here, but did ask friends, neighbors, colleagues, classmates -- basically anyone we knew who might have some knowledge of engineering (or who might know someone with knowledge of engineering) to help us understand what the career arc for engineers is like.

I have an economics degree and used it to be employed doing fun things.

I went into college saying I’d major in physics. My college-educated parents were panicked about the idea. They had no idea what science majors other than doctors could do
for a living. [/quote]
