Maybe you can double major if your family is worried?


Despite what we have said about business being vocational, it's not really all that detrimental for law admissions. The only concern is that it may not help you much in areas of writing and analytical thinking, which you need for law school. The business major targets getting business jobs immediately out of undergrad.

By the way, Econ doesn't have to include too much math unless you are applying for Econ grad programs. I am an Econ major and only took up to multivariable calculus, which is about Calc 3 or so and one semester of statistics. There are the "quantitative" Econ pathways to take if you want to go to graduate school for Econ which require basically a double major in math, but the more qualitative only requires about 3 semesters of math, well at least at my university.

You're right in that law schools don't offer much financial aid, since most T-14 grads come out with starting salaries in the 6 digits.

Maybe you can major in poli sci but apply for internships in business? To be honest, business is a very "hands on" field. You learn most of it on the job, not in the major.
