Economics is excellent preparation for graduate school (if that is a goal). Econ majors have some of the highest LSAT scores, and some of the highest proportion of leadership positions. From a practical standpoint you won't get recruited like accounting or finance majors into accounting or banking firms but on the whole employers love this major. You can go into the public sector, NGO, MNC, private, academia (if you get a min masters). But study what you like. You definitely need more math than accounting and maybe about the same if not a little more than finance at the masters level. There are economists at banks but those are real economists (PHD's).

Personally I love economics because it's more about research and psychological perspective of wealth and consumption, but I'm studying banking and finance within business administration which is more math/number based even that I'm not good at it. Because the college I'm in doesn't have econ major, but we study econ a lot in business (banking & finance). And accounting is just not my thing it's so boring lol.

Even though I decided a couple month ago which degree should i get, this video was very helpful. Thank you very much 🦅

I guess I would fit in with economics since I enjoy researching and taking things slowly. I get bored working with numbers all day because that is what I do now, and I don’t like fast paced work either. Very helpful video.

I am doing my first year in Economics Management Science, I had interest in it based on production and money flow of a country. I was not good in maths but am doing great in it now

[dinahlungu]

I love that economics is broad and has a widerange of work force but am more of a practical person

[iyzsgot]

[tavihamilton]

I liked the theoretical parts of economics but hated the graphs

[whatareyoulookingat]

After watching this I guess I’ll go in finance…. But now am confused where to study it cuz I wanna study abroad somewhere in Europe…. If u know a better place which obviously cost less then a reply might help a lot.

[muhammedlaminceesay]

Please I am confused whether I should study Statistics or economics can u please make video on that

[thanhtamtrannguyen]

Do you think it’s necessary to have a double major in econ and either Or econ major and a minor in one of those things?

[stochasticdifferentialeq.]

Choose Economics if you want to pursue a career in academia, do research in public organizations and work as a data scientist for private or public sectors.

Choose finance if you want to work as a stock broker, bond trader, and financial analyst but not working in the risk management position that is part of the finance that deals with advanced graduate level probability and other highly advance math subjects.

Choose accounting if you simply want to be a bookkeeper 😅 be it of for an individual or run an office to handle many firms accounting book.

If I have my Economics associates degree may I apply for economic jobs? No one will hire me in Finance with my bachelor degree being Finance. It's horrible now they reject me the same day it's disrespectful and waste of my time to go to university to be unemployed so long after graduation. I been looking for entry level jobs a 1 year and a half before I graduated.
