<p>so wat schools have a better undergrad program for econ?
esp. for west coast.
and what econ job do ppl usually get?</p>
<p>Better, or Best? Stanford is obviously going to have the best on that coast. The Ivies + UChicago and Northwestern, etc will round out the rest of the US.</p>
<p>Econ majors go on to do just about everything…banking, consulting, law, journalism, other aspects of business, government, academia…</p>
<p>^^^
Add MIT</p>
<p>uchicago comes to mind when i hear econ</p>
<p>just look at the top grad econ programs. usually the same.</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna, USC, UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford for west coast. Very few jobs exactly in Econ… it is a degree that places into most any entry level management or sales job.</p>
<p>DunninLA pretty much named all of them.
The job you want also depends on what area of specialization you’ll seek in econ. Personally, I think UChicago is one of the best schools in this field</p>
<p>I second the Claremont McKenna recommendation, esp. with your interest in West Coast schools.</p>
