Economics major

[TheProfessor]

Is the economic major worth it? Is it good path career cause am thinking of taking it.
Did anyone of u guys took it and if so how is it

 

[TheManWhoIsAlive]

I have an economics degree. I have a good career, but if you want an actual career right out of university, I'd recommend finance or accounting instead. They're more practical. If you're gonna stick to economics, then learn python or programming that can help with data analytics. But if you're gonna do that, I'd just take statistics as a major instead.

 

[TheManWhoIsAlive]

I lucked out in my career. If I could do it all over again, I'd be an accountant.

How sharp are you in your critical thinking? And how self-motivated, principled, and disciplined in your life choices?

I have no idea, unless of course one wishes to get h(er)is PhD, and work for some global agency, or be a professor at some college.

Canada. And no. I work in the logistics industry, and after working for about 5 and a half years, I'm almost a site lead now. But I'm essentially a logistics manager.

Generally they end up as analysts. There's a lot of stats in the field, so supplementing that with a programming language and BI tool proficiency, and you're pretty good.

Get a good internship and network well. It’s better then most art degrees, but work experience comes first

I was also a Econ major having an amazing job but took me so long to get it after I graduated was starting to give up learned python and started grad school.

In the UK, economics degrees are seen as prestigious, and are one of the best paying degrees, especially if you go to a good uni.

Idk about other countries though.
