Careers

Economics offers a good introduction to ideas about how the economy operates as a whole system. Economic majors learn how to discuss and propose solutions to economic problems and how to criticize alternative answers to economic questions. The ability to do this is useful for people planning to go on to undergraduate economics work and ultimately to law school, business school, advanced work in economics, graduate work in international relations, research staff positions with government, business, or a labor union, or management positions with business, or the government.
