For many, the Economics major provides a useful background for a business career while for others the major is preparation for graduate study in Law, Economics or Public Policy. Economics is relevant for students interested in employment in politics and public policy analysis, the financial services sector (banking, insurance), as industry analysts (for example, health care, entertainment, energy), in consumer affairs, international affairs, teaching and research, law, business consulting, government work and journalism. Salaries earned by economics majors nationwide are highly competitive; employers rank economics as one of the most desirable majors.
