What exactly is it about economics that you need 4 years of school 4. Can't you just study that shyt in your spare time?
You got your degree in econ? Or are you thinking about going back to school and getting a degree in it?
Anyways, I'm only about a year in school. Economics kinda crept up on me, and I really find it interesting. I went in undecided, but figured that was what I was gonna be going for a couple of months in.

If you're gonna major in Econ, take some courses in accounting and finance.
That will give you more options when you start looking for a job.

Economics major just graduated in May. Great major and very useful and practical in the world. I'm working as intern/paralegal now, planning on going the law school route in the next year or so.
Law is an interesting option to think about especially if u have good writing and comprehension skills and not care as much for the quantative analytical side of finance/accounting. A lot of economics majors in corporate law, not to mention big bucks (big law firms).

Current econ major here as well.
Corporate law seems like a pretty interesting route to go, I'm not interested at all in the statistics/quantitative portion of economics. Definitely will keep that in mind
What if you are pursuing a similar path but your school doesnt offer those minors 
And is there any use of a minor in Business? Thats always sounded like a waste to me, but its the closest my school has to finance

3 more semesters until I get my BS in Economics. I'm minoring in value, law, and policy. Wish I had minored in finance or accounting but I'll tack some of those courses on with my free electives 
Thought about going into the law school, but lately I haven't heard anything good about law school debts and the life of a lawyers period. I'm not the type of person who likes owing any money and plan to graduate college debt free thankfully.
Looking towards a financial analyst type job when I graduate while possibly working on my masters also would love an investment banking job, but it's a difficult industry to break into.
