Which school for economics?

No degrees guarantee jobs that pay well.

Although the surest bets for getting high paying jobs right out of college are likely degrees such as stern or wharton business degrees, or U Chicago econ.

Sadly, I think most Americans these days do not value the idea of being “educated”. Instead they want to make lots of money to satisfy themselves.

And if you ask me, economics degrees are better than business degrees anyday. Cause at business schools, they teach you how to do business, which business in itself does not involve any intellectual depth or struggle.

Whereas economics, which is a liberal arts/social sciences subject, will require you to do loads more critical thinking, and make you a better thinker.

What ever happened to people going to college for an education?
