<p>To jkatakoon,</p>
<p>It is true that UCs are known for Econ, but some UCs do offer the Bus Admin degree. For example, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside. Most of the other UCs offer an economics degree with an emphasis on accounting, otherwise known as Business Economics, or Bizecon for short. If you are looking for a career in business, a business admin degree will help, but it isn’t limiting to have a degree solely in Economics. As long as you have high grades, and you start getting internships, (networking, getting your name out to recruiters and employers), you should have no problem getting a job in business. </p>
<p>Unless you have a degree from a top UC in Business like UC Berkeley, you would have to make a solid impression at the places you intern and the people you network with if you have just an economics degree or any other degree. You have to make your own way, because in the past, it has always been about networking. In my opinion, counselors are just shoving that word to every college graduate these days without giving any substance. It has become overrated in a sense, or an expectation. People who get internships and get offers are those who produce results and show immediate potential. That’s the new beast. I’m sure you’ll be successful if you go into your job or career with good attitude.</p>
