I live West Coast and know a few BC alum who graduated with economics degree and trust me: they make well over “50k.” I don’t know where this assumption comes from. Also, I am questioning whether you are simply chalking the major up as it is or accounting for the location/internship opportunities. Most business majors rely on interns/experience to “move up the chain.” Though I don’t know much about CS, I can tell you that I have seen BC produce successful individuals from CAS. It’s about the individual and his or her motivation… The school simply supplements and supports that.
Also a combo of economics/math can prepare one very well. Most business schools aren’t like med degrees where one is “guaranteed” a salary. That’s the beauty of business. Connections and the students own hard work.
