College Majors Business Major

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>First post here, I've been rummaging through the forums trying to get some help with choosing a concentration within my business school. I am a freshman at a pretty good undergraduate business program and within the next week I need to choose a concentration, but I really don't know what to pick.</p>

<p>So, main question here is what types of jobs one can get/apply for with an Economics degree. I enjoy economics, have taken two classes regarding the subject, and really think I want to major in it, but I don't know what jobs Economics majors go on to have. If anyone has a website that can help me find some info on this, or has some info on what an Economics major goes on to do, that would be great. Thanks.</p>

<p>I would focus on finance or accounting. Finance is a great career, and if you enjoy economics, you will enjoy finance as well.</p>

<p>Not everyone has to be a finance/acctg major. Most business students have majors outside those concentrations. </p>

<p>I would imagine an economics degree would open up research, banking, teaching positions; and you’d probably be qualified for positions that accept general business majors. If I were you, I’d talk to my career center to find out about your school’s econ program and its job placement and at which companies students are placed.</p>
