I graduated from LSU with a degree in Economics and a Business Administration minor.
I'v always kinda thought ECON was one of those degrees that was useless unless you got a PHD in it or coupled it with another major like accounting.

I don't know about that, but I think if you want to use it [undergrad] in the financial industry, it has to come from a top tier b-school. Just the way of the world.

I've heard the first two ECON classes are intended to help those majoring in ECON to ask, "Do you want fries with that?"*

Econ is a decent minor to tack onto a finance or acct degree (I did it). It's also a good lead into law school. The old curriculum of getting your Econ Degree through the college of business had a pretty useful course load, but no one was doing it, so they axed the program.
Outside of engineering and business school, there's not much to do with a bachelors besides go to grad school or get a job that requires "a college degree". Right now, even engineering and business kids are taking the MBA route.
Architecture doesn't count, it's a 5 year program and I think they get a master's upon completion.
