[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a HYP grad, I wouldn't let my kids attend if they are just going to get a major in econ to go into business. I succeeded very well and ended up in PE. It was single-handedly the worst mistake me and many of my friends made, even if we were paid handsome sums. I would've preferred going into accounting and living a happy life.[/quote]
NP. Similar view. Econ major, went to law school, was paid handsome sums. Back in olden times, my father kept suggesting accounting, though at the time I had no idea what was involved and dismissed it without further thought. Hindsight is 20/20.

One of my kids is now an accounting major. Figured out this path on his own after trying to find internships going the econ/finance route. The door to stable employment is open, as are doors for other opportunities down the road.

I think the OP's niece gets some respect for coming to her conclusion. The only drawback, like most fields, is not having realistic exposure before deciding on the major.[/quote]
