The
analytical training and quantitative skills
that economics majors obtain make it one of
the most financially rewarding, and flexible
undergraduate degrees available. Since most
of the skills that people use in their occupations
they learn "on the job," employers frequently
seek individuals that have the ability to critically
analyze and evaluate a variety of complex situations.
The skill set obtained by an economics major
is just that—the ability to critically, and
quantitatively, evaluate a wide range of real-world
events.
