<p>I want to take a poll because I am very interested in how many people actually want to study economics, and not use it just as a tool to get into law school or business school. So please state your reason for being an economics major.</p>
<p>I for one really want to make it my career to study Macroeconomic Theory.. (even if it means jobs will be hard to find)</p>
<p>I'm choosing to transfer as an economics major (currently a business major), because I'll have basically 90% of the same job opportunities as a business major, but I only need 16 more hours in economics and 14 hours in a foreign language to get my bachelors, instead of 48 more for business. I just like the freedom econ will give me.</p>
<p>i'm thinking of minoring in it.....i like econ for it's broad applications whether it be contemporary US or impoverished cambodia. you can apply it to many situations in life sciences/business/engineering also.....</p>
<p>Well I'm very interested in majoring in Econ in the aid to solve issues from urban development, public education, or third-world poverty. I'm not, however, intending on continuing on advanced Economics degrees or even searching for fields with any specific relation to it. While I'm in the arts, I feel Economics is a science that is suited for me that can strengthen my understanding and commitment to the betterment of life.</p>
<p>With that said, I've already started a thread search for schools that cater to this need of economics. Anyone care to recommend some?</p>
<p>money...........</p>
<p>I'm going to try and get a second major in economics even though i plan on going into medicine.</p>
