“Disagree. Econ not only strengthens your quantitative skills but teaches you about the world and how decisions are made under scarcity. I’m sure lots of hopeful insurance owners would have loved to take a class in Public Economics to learn and understand 'moral hazard.”
All that is well covered in three classes. If you want real quant skills major in math and stats. BTW most biz decisions lack sufficient hard info to make true math based decisions. Most require what we called the “leap of faith”.
BTW=econ undergrad. Yes it is good for jobs mostly because you have to have some math skills and many better jobs require that.
