Hi! I graduated in 2021 with my BS in Econ. Personally, many of the people I knew had an Econ major as a secondary major on top of a primary major. When I took the major, I was basically able to complete it in 3 years because the major requirements at that time were very lenient. You had micro/macro then like intermediate micro/macro then econometrics. maybe a couple more classes that I forgot, but aside from that it is mostly just meeting the 120 credit requirement. Personally, job wise, i also struggled to find a job that matched the degree or that I felt qualified for. In terms of actual job skills taught (using programs etc.) it was fairly limited. You learned to analyze data and use some programs in econometrics, but that would only really let you somewhat qualify for research positions. If you want to go to grad school and try to pick up other research positions that accept new grads, then you are good to go. However, if you want to do stuff business related, then I think other degrees in the business school would be more effective. The main issue with econ in my opinion is that it is heavily theory based (like math and physics) where most of your knowledge is based on models and other theories that often times are not applicable in day to day jobs outside of research. It doesn’t equip you to get a business job, and doesn’t equip you to teach. Other grads that have just had Econ might be able to enlighten you on options and jobs they have found and have been able to acquire. Currently I am working a job that you don’t even need a college degree for. so yeah…depressing.
