Quantitative economics definitely sounds more practical than just economics to me. People major in econ even if they do not intend to find a career in the field. In that sense, quantitative econ sounds more econ career related as well. At least to me. So what can I expect with the degree? (job, salary etc) and also compared to what a general econ major would expect?
I am actually considering trying to become an actuary. Is this the right major for that profession?
Also how does it compare with a finance major?
