What should I expect from an Econ degree?

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am curious as to what the experts think I should expect from my entry level job.</p>

<p>I'm currently a senior at Indiana University majoring in Economics (BA) with a minor in PolySci and a minor in Business (graduating after 4 years). I have a 3.2 GPA and should be able to raise that to a 3.3 by graduation. I have worked for Kraft and had an internship in accounting at an international, multibillion dollar company. I studied abroad at an excellent program in Germany (IES-European Union) when I was a junior.</p>

<p>Economics is proving to be kind of hard to get started with as it seems many employers don't go out of their way to recruit us Econ majors directly.</p>

<p>I am basically looking at finance/logistics/actuarial sciences/operations/analysis, etc (don't think I have the credentials to start out in IB).</p>

<p>Any opinions on what kind of job I should expect and more importantly, what kind of starting salary I should expect? I currently expect around $50k/yr, but have not yet had success in finding such opportunities.</p>

<p>I’m a Junior at UW in Econ but my GPA is a little above a 3.6 right now. I’m thinking about going straight into a Masters in Accounting.</p>

<p>Ya I’m thinking MBA so I’m waiting a few years</p>
