Economics / Managerial Economics?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I’ve read the dozens upon dozens of Man Econ vs Econ threads on this forum. Most of those threads however involve undergrad students with no experience who are their decision </p>

<p>I have been accepted to UCD for Managerial Economics. If I maintain a steady load, I can finish up in 4-5 quarters. I have talked to some people who are making me doubt my decision to stick to Man-Econ and are saying I should go for straight Econ just to get done quicker (3 quarters [can finish before summer '14 and start interning/working by summer/fall next year])since Man-Econ requires a lot of non-econ related courses,and I feel myself slowly leaning towards this given my situation. I am currently interning for a large corporation’s company’s Marketing team so I know this gives me somewhat an upper-hand in terms of when I enter the job force (will also have an internship lined up here next summer, but no job offer at this point). **My question is how much leverage will I have by graduating with Man-Econ versus Econ given my work experience<a href=“since%20I%20know%20that%20plays%20somewhat%20a%20key%20role”>/B</a></p>

<p>I am not as much concerned with the kind of classes since I have interest in both applied econ and theoretical, but more-so with where I will go with the degree. I am not 100% sure Marketing is what I want to do, but something along the lines of an analytical position in sales/marketing, or a Bus Analyst? Still not sure about that end goal, but I’d appreciate any help offered!!</p>

<p>Probably not a huge amount. Maybe if you explained how your major was better than economics in a job interview if might help out. In reality it doesn’t matter too much, might be a better thing to worry about filling the rest of your time at Davis double majoring or at least minoring in something related to boost your degree.</p>
