I graduated with an Econ degree last year. I'm making $75,000 right now and I'm actually just about to switch jobs, so here's to hoping I'll get more.

Econ is really not even considered business anymore, at Auburn it isn't even part of the business program. Econ teaches you to critically think while learning social skills and how to analyze every situation. I can't even tell you how useful these skills have been to me. Also, I understand money, investing, and how to make more of it better than probably 98% of people in this country. But then again, my minor was finance as well.

I've always seen it as Econ > Finance > Accounting > all else.

You have a WAYYY higher potential to make more money in Econ than in the other 2 professions. Hell the starting salary of Econ majors is much higher than the 2.

ETA: Also every Economics major I have met have all seemed to be incredibly intelligent. Most of them are very wealthy (a few investment bankers, area managers, ect). And not many people doing Economics so when you meet another you say "eyyyy you went through all that shite too!?"
