Economics degree?

I'm almost done with a business degree so I'm not an expert in this but analytics is becoming pretty big in a lot of areas. Supply chain management is pretty interesting although I am not drawn to statistics at all.

The main industry I can think of that would be really fun but hard to get into is pro sports if you have any interest in that. Think of how much money is being passed around at those stakes based off of endless numbers and statistics. If you're serious about going real deep with an advanced degree you could get into some cool shit for sure those are just a few that popped into my mind

thinking about going as far as a phd in economics and statistics.

Not worth it. Just get an undergraduate Econ. degree and start getting paid.

Economics is one of the most respected degrees where I live. It's also very difficult and studying econ drove me to madness and depression for a while. I changed career but if you're good at math and enjoy it and can handle the theory go for it.

If you couple economics with some basic-intermediate programming knowledge, you would be in a good place with even just a bachelors.

The main thing to do during your undergrad is GET AN INTERNSHIP. Work Experience >>>>>>> Everything else.

I'd say it is. Alot of cool very high paying jobs for it as well. Analytics, actuarial science, economist etc

Biologist is good too. Personally I don't know if teaching is a good degree or not cause alot of teachers don't actually require the specific teaching degree. An engineering or science degree works just as well.

Econs fine. I switched to finance though because it's fucking boring.

Don't do it. The only worthwhile business degrees are accounting and MIS. Check out Aaron Clarey's Worthless.
