Wow, the more feedbacks you guys give me (which I want to hear), it’s harder for me to pick which school will give me the BEST econ education and job opportunities. So far, my order would have to be:

Wisconsin (strong academic and it’s in city)
BU (too expensive but I love the city)
Illinois (strong academic but somewhat rural)
Washington (pretty strong academic and it’s in Seattle)
Penn State (good career service but too many students)

What do you guys think about my order? Also, do you think I can major in econ and minor in either CS or finance? Is this the path to go if you want to work as a financial analysist?
