    Agree. Pursue a Masters in ECON.

    Can't get a decent job in the Social Sciences without a Masters.

    Psychology, Sociology, History, English, Economics, Commerce, Accounting etc. All of them.

    An undergrad can pass in the hard sciences - computer science, all engineering disciplines, biology, chemistry etc.

    And yea, it gets harder to enroll when u get older. I'm 30 now and never want to go back! :)

  4. Pursue the CFA designation. It's on par with a PhD in the jobs I look for, and much cheaper.

  5. What a lame comment. You'll need it to understand what's moving the market. You can start with all the economic data that's released, then you'll already know what it means when it comes out. It's like saying you only have to be 21 to go to the casino.

    If you didn't have any grounding in Econometrics or Empirical analysis you probably missed the point of the whole major, though.

    I take it you are in Europe- go with the EU.
    They will be around to the end.

    Depends on how good are you at the subject. If in the good category then try to find job in some financial discipline and in two years time decide on what subject to pursue in the grad school.

    History majors completing an MBA have ended up in Board rooms, and done well also :D

    With an economics degree you can screw up entire national economies.

    Now that's some degree!
