<p>I've been in college since 2008. I got my associates in Business Administration in a community college. Currently, I'm in a 4-year university. I'm 6 classes shy from getting my bachelors. </p>

<p>Here's the dilemma:
- I don't know what major to choose
- I'm starting a new job as a teller at a bank and want to stay in the business world
- I thought I wanted to be an accountant but that is no longer an option. Long story short, I screwed up and didn't get the grade required to major in accounting. I passed the class but I can't major in it. I also CAN'T major in Finance.
- So I have to choose either Management or Economics. I think Management is a Bull**** degree. Many people, engineers to accountants, told me it's a bs degree. I want to know, what really is economics? If I have a bachelors in Economics, what exactly do I do? What am I learning? Is it USEFUL in real life? help me get good jobs? or are people going to laugh at like they do to Management majors? </p>

<p>another question is, can I major in Economics and minor in either Finance or Accounting. I can't major in Accounting or Finance but maybe I can minor? can you minor in eithoer of those 2 fields? If so, is it even worth it? </p>

<p>I do want my masters. So let's say, I get a bachelors in Economics, can I master in something else? let's say Finance? or Accounting? </p>

<p>Please, any advice... especially from people who majored in Economics or Management....whatever, any good advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Economics is better than management because you can always do an MBA. Most programs if you ever did want to do a masters in economics will deny you if you have a degree in management because you haven’t had the math criteria which means you would have to take math courses as well. Plus, you can always get an MBA after working a few years and most management can be learned on the job.</p>
