Economics is not a dangerous major.

I’m not really sure what you are asking. If you like the major - not what the major can do for you, but the actual major and subject matter itself - then it can be a good choice. It involves aspects of business, mathematics, politics, and law. Your marketability increases as you acquire quantitative skills, communication/writing skills, and experience through internships or part-time jobs in school. You can become a lawyer or work in finance with an economics major. (If you are interested in being an actuary, you’d want to pick a more quantitative major like math or statistics, although you could always double major or minor in economics.)
