<p>engineering = engineer
nursing = nurse
accounting = accountant</p>
<p>economics = ??? = versatile
Don’t say to become an economist too -.- . Some say versatility is good but I think its bad. People want to hire you because you have specific skills that other people don’t have. What qualifies an econ major better more than others? Don’t say smarts or quantitative skills because other majors have that too. </p>
<p>Only positive thing I can find about econ majors is decision making. It is an important skill but seriously who is going to trust an undergrad to make important decisions? They would rather take advice from people with Phd with their money. Unless you are coming out of the an undergrad program from a prestigious school or have a graduate degree you’re pretty much stuck with a crappy desk job or unemployment.</p>
