Economics is still one of the best degrees to get job wise. It’s better than every other social science and every humanities major. It’s probably about tied or has a slight advantage against physics, math, and chemistry. It’s also likely better than a number of business degrees such as international business, management, and marketing.

Now, Engineering is obviously a better degree job wise as is Accounting. I’m not an econ major but you’ll be better off than 80% of the other kids at your typical school with a degree in economics assuming you have a similar GPA.
