I majored in Econ. It was worth it. I'm putting my old classmates to WORK! Ha!
Um, running a casino probably has more to do with your tribal affiliation than it has to do with your degrees. As for banking I think you'd benefit from getting an MBA but I think that too has more to do with positioning and luck than just getting an MBA.Is it better than getting an MBA with a finance concentration for someone who wants to run a bank or a casino?
URM with over a 3.5, great EC's, and over 150 shadowing hours. As far as studying for the MCAT there's no need to do so when it's a year away. 3-5 months prior to study and my stats are fine. And if I don't go? I'll pursue a PhD in dreaded Psych. Since the topic of discussion was unemployment, it was fitting to let it be known that I would be eating well with a MD or not in a field I enjoy. Don't you worry about it, breh.
calm down bro. Im not your dad so I could really care less what you're doing. It's obvious your defensive about your major and all but real talk a 3.5 gpa in psych doesn't mean shyt. Major in a core science and med school admissions deans will be far more impressed. Take it from someone with intimate knowledge in the subject. But you seem like someone with all the answers so I'm sure you'll be fine. ...
Econ. Just started my job this week pays me 50K. I know to most you coli brehs that aint shyt but thats more money then my parents ever made. Growing up without shyt makes it feel like so much more.
Still looking back it seems like computer engineering degree is where its at. But at least I was able to fukk around in college and still have social life![]()
Black excellence. Make us proud, breh 
I told nikkas I didn't have to be teacher with my math degree.
