<p>I am currently thinking of majoring in Economics and perhaps pursuing a double major with Political Science. What kind of careers would I be able to get into with that double major? I'm interested in Economics and politics which is why I want to do both. </p>
<p>What kind of government jobs could I get if I want to work for the State or Federal government. I'm at UNC Charlotte, but I'll probably transfer to NC State University in the fall.</p>
<p>An economics major gives you more power in the marketplace than political science.</p>
<p>There is not much you can do with a political science degree other than attend law school.</p>
<p>With an economics degree, you are qualified for lots of jobs in the government.</p>
<p>The federal government makes all sorts of decisions that impact on the economy.</p>
<p>The government wants to be able to predict the likely behavior of the populace if it implements a particular program or policy.</p>
<p>You would also qualify for jobs at banks, and in big corporations.</p>
