Nothing actually useful that's for sure. It's up there with like women's studies, philosophy, and PE as far as uselessness goes. There's an upside though. Useless at making economic predictions as it is, there's tons of rich fucks and corporations out there who buy into the meme. You just need to have good bullshitting skills. If you do then there's no shortage of rich dipshits who're willing to pay you very well to do what amounts to flipping coins for them, full-time.

Kek just kidding. A coin toss is much more reliable at making predictions than economists.

Academia. Make no mistake about it, economics is not a science, and is only a small step up from other humanities majors. "Economists" simply cherry-pick data to back up their own political positions, that is literally all they do.

become a propaganda mouthpiece for the government.

There is tons of math in economics, but most of it is pseudo scientific.

That's relative. Compared to a history major? Yeah, there's tons of maths. However I read this as a graduate physics student and I'm laughing out loud
