[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you seem to be obsessively focused on kids with econ majors getting on a PhD track or even a pure econ track for a job. [b]I don't think that's what the OP asked about.[/b] Entry level jobs do not require a PhD. There are plenty of econ majors who double major and bring other skills to the table. Consulting firms and finance firms are hiring them for their analytical skills, not their deep knowledge of economic theory. My DC was an econ major and I posted earlier that he is working in consulting with a starting package over $100k. Understanding economics is helpful in his role, but it's not an economic research job (which he never considered as he wasn't interested in that path). Ultimately he will get an MBA if he feels like he needs it for advancement. [/quote] OP did said her kid was looking for an "Econ job". Not "consulting, then business school" which is a path taken by a gazillion kids with all sorts of majors. [/quote]
