So /biz/ is it worth it to double major, or should I just make one of those a minor?
Also, general degree rate thread.
Terrible decision.

Get a minimum wage job and live with your parents. Invest in neetcoins. You will be a millionaire soon enough.

Do not double major. Finance would be better than economics as far as hirability. You need to focus on internships every summer and actual useful student organizations or startups over your undergrad. Additional academics will only be useful for an academic career. You will not be taught important work skills in school.
Double major or minor only to gain access to courses you deem valuable. Interdepartmental coursework can be surprisingly hard when the administration is lazy or antisocial.

It doesn't work that way. Majors don't immediately transfer into salaries.
If you aren't willing to put effort into it, you won't get anywhere in life.

I make like 55k fresh out but I don't work in a field related to my degree at all. Don't do it /biz/

What did you major in?
>>1901555
Just like everyone else on /biz/ r-right guys?
>>1901556
if the economics degree contains lots of stats then the economics major is much better
minors are worse than worthless
double majors are insane and a bad time
go to college for ONE UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE that will lead to lucrative employment
want to learn about something? read a fucking book, you can pirate ebooks for zero dollars or just but it at the store for $15 or whatever instead of thousands for one lousy class
>want the highest financial yield from my degree with the least effort
what jobs are you aiming for? loads of people with econ degrees go for consulting/banking jobs and they take a fuckton of effort
if you're looking for the least effort/most yield jobs work in the public sector, but i doubt you'd want to do that
>>1901556
this. econ is just a generic marketable degree that teaches some quant skills but not much that's directly appliable to a job (unless your'e a phd economist)

English/secondary education. Did my observation and said fuck this. Now I work in Telecom and make a good living but I know that I could have been doing better.
