<p>Hey guys, so I'm a current 1st year and headed towards an economics major. However, I've always been interested in Psychology and now I'm thinking of doing a double major, Int'l Econ/Psychology.</p>

<p>My question is, are these two majors complementary? Would both provide me a good skillset to get into the business careers after graduation? Or would psych be just a "waste of time" in terms of future careers in business. Any ideas/experiences/advice? Thanks..</p>

<p>Yes it definitely is - consulting firms will hire you, a lot businessy jobs involve
dealing with clientelle will hire you. See, they can outsource numbercrunchers, but if you understand pysch + econ, you can be
invaluable in things like marketing, etc. Really with economics, if your not a math person, I would recomend pysch. However psych without any econ... A bit risky.</p>
