<p>My son just graduated with an econ degree and works in commercial banking for Wells Fargo.</p>
<p>I graduated many moons ago with an econ degree and worked as a gas accountant for a major oil company.</p>
<p>I think it is a really open ended major and if you have good grades, and bring alot to the table, you can go in many different directions with it.</p>
<p>In terms of what? I’m surprised you came to this conclusion. Most would see econ as less-career oriented than say accounting or finance. That’s not a bad thing. ag54 hit it on the head–it’s a course of study that is very flexible.</p>
