From my experience (I'm was an Econ major in undergrad myself), the department tends to be less career-oriented compared to other departments such as Finance or Accounting. This is only amplified by the fact that in some universities, Econ is part of Liberal Arts, and not part of the Business School, which excludes most econ students from accessing valuable interview opportunities.
Even though the professors were great, and the materials were very brain-stimulating at times, at the end of the day, career matters. So unless if you are willing to put in extra years to go all the way to a PhD, I'd recommend something like Finance. You still get a fair bit of theories (like in a lot of Econ classes), but you also learn quantitative things that are useful in the real world.
