<p>Xavi is saying that if you look for a job that is paying 60-70k fresh out of college, you may not find one. You’ll earn more money within 5 years, kid. But you can’t become the CEO of a company before you work there. That isn’t how it works. </p>
<p>But still, I think whoever is telling you you won’t make that much money is wrong. There are a few Econ majors that make 60k out of college. But because an economics major’s lucrative job doesn’t contain economics in its title, people get confused and don’t understand that it is usually the Econ majors who get that job.</p>
<p>The ONLY way you can be GUARUNTEED that much money after graduation is if you major in certain types of engineering. But honestly, your degree is better than most undergraduate degrees for job prospects. Heck, it’s actually the next best undergraduate degree next to engineering.</p>
