Majoring in economics= unemployed??

<p>Okay, if I do major in economics and maybe managerial studies in Rice, will I have a hard time finding a job after college?</p>

<p>And after some work experience, I plan to get an MBA (I know, it's a long time in the future). However, my dad says that there is no demand for people w/ an MBA. Is that true?? Will I have a tough time finding a decent-paying job?</p>

<p>Any "visual proof" would be great so I can refute Daddy-o :)</p>

<p>I think you should change the subject to Majoring In Economics=Great Success.</p>

<p>I’m an economics major at Rice and I know that top, top companies come to recruit at Rice every single year. This is especially beneficial to Rice as many Fortune 500 companies are based in Houston. </p>

<p>Economics is one of the principal disciplines that runs the corporate and political spheres of the world, so surely it would be narrow minded to think that majoring in economics= unemployed.</p>

<p>Here’s a place where you can do a bit more research:</p>

<p>[Center</a> For Student Professional Development - Rice University](<a href=“http://cspd.rice.edu/]Center”>http://cspd.rice.edu/)</p>

<p>Yes, you will get a job:</p>

<p>Refer to the post-graduate survey link in post #9:</p>

<p>Thanks! But is there a more specific survey that focuses on those who were econ majors? </p>

<p>So as long as I do well in Rice I’ll have no problem getting a job, correct?</p>

<p>If you actually read the survey you would see that on page 31-32 it has what you want to know.</p>

<p>oh yah my fault i wasnt looking closely. thanks you guys!</p>
