@Publisher the reason I am leaning towards an economics degree then an MBA, later on, is because I do want a well-rounded education. I know that business majors have the staple of being an “easy major,” and I do really enjoy the economics aspects of finances. Additionally, for my career goals (management consulting) I need to obtain an MBA somewhere with prestige in order to get a job at a top-notch firm. With reading more about MBA programs, I’ve seen that MBA recruiters prefer economics majors over business majors.
