Thanks for the video. I’m a student (2nd year) and plan to be switching
next semester to economics. Im currently a criminology major. I found this
video very insightful.

luck with the big change.

No – it really depends on the career path you choose to take with
economics. Ben talks more about this in the full interview on Careers Out
There.

i studied statistics at undergraduate level can i do masters in economics
What would be a good minor to pair with an Econ major? I’m thinking PoliSci
or English.
Whats a typical starting salary for an economist fresh out of university?
I love these videos. I’m trying to decide between economics and pharmacy
Thank man you are awesome
Glad we can help! Thanks for the feedback.
If you want something that complements your Econ major (instead of just
something else you’re interested in), statistics or mathematics are great
minors-especially if you plan to go to grad school (it’s very math-heavy
once you get past the basic and intermediate Econ classes)
I know! I’m leaning more towards economics, I’m also looking into
accounting. Man, it’s tough selecting a career path to follow for the rest
of my life!
Hey Jose – don’t get too overwhelmed with that “rest of my life” line of
thinking. You of course don’t want to waste time on the wrong path, but if
something turns out not be right, you can change careers. There’s always
the chance that your interests will be different in 10, 15 years…and
you’ll want to shake things up. But keep doing your research so you can
make the most educated decision possible. Don’t miss our accounting career
video with Jeff Elliott.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I will definitely watch the video. I like
business. I really just want to be successful. My parents work really hard
and want me to pursue a good career in order to not have to struggle like
they have. I want to help them live a good life after I’m done. I know it’s
a process and it takes hard work, but I am willing to do it. Accounting has
my attention. I just need to gather enough info to be as prepared as
possible in order to be the best at what I do.
Sounds good Jose. You’re going about it the right way. Good luck and keep
me posted!
hello ! i am a science under grad. will it be good to me for a masters
program in economics ? if yes , will my under grad degree affect my resume
in a ositive or negative way?
Hi, my name is Priscilla, I’m from Brazil and I’m ending my Economics
graduation this year, but I’ve thinking in do a Master is Actuarial
Mathematics in Austria (to learn German too). I work as research, however I
am planning now change to the labor market. So, my query is, doing a Msc.
in Actuarial Mathematic is a good idea?
thanks . great.
