Ecomics when combined with another professional certification like the CFA can be a potent combination that most investment banks look for. \n\nThere are some entry level positions available with the Federal Govt which can be used to gain experience at the onset of your career.\nhttp://federalgovernmentjobs.us/job-search/economics-assistant-0119.html

Agricultural and Mechanical.\n\nWhen it was started many years ago, it offered only Agricultural and Mechanical Engineering as majors.

business and econmoics is always a good choice for anyone... Even if you dont' end up starting your own business, you learn things most normal people should no anyways, and will always be helpful in life.\n\nYou gotta be willing to deal with theories and rules, and a little bit of numbers.

In the US as an undergrad you would major in either Finance or Economics.  In most schools Finance is in the B-school, which may have stricter admissions requirements, whereas Econ is usually part of the College of Arts & Sciences at a given University.

That answer depends on you major and minor. Where you can seek employment. How many are in your field. Your grades in your core (need for your major/minor) classes. How many jobs are availible. If you have special training/certifications.  There are most likely more that I can not think of right now.  My advice is to look up your Major and the word "earnings" this will give you a good look at what you want to do and how much you can make.  Also it could help you find a resource that tells you what special certifications can help you earn even more. Hope this helps!

Well, just because it's easy to find a job with a major does not mean it's the best major for you.  You don't want to study something and work in that field for rest of your life if you don't like the subject in the first place.  But as far as job availability and salary goes engineering, business and nursing are the top there.

Anything in business, engineering, or the sciences is great. If you go the humanities route, just be sure to balance class time with internships and independent research, both of which will make you more marketable.  A humanities major also gives you more flexibility in your career path. Worst major? Something you absolutely hate or aren't good at--you'll eventually regret it.\n\nThe Princeton Review.com listed these starting salaries for their most popular majors: \nElectrical Engineering $51,372\nAccounting $41,110\nEconomics/Finance $40,906\nBusiness Administration/Management $38,188\nMarketing $35,321\nPolitical Science $32,999\nEnglish $31,169\nBiology $29,750\nPsychology $27,791\nJournalism $27,646\n\nYou may want to check out the Occupational Outlook Handbook, which tells you about different professions, education needed, salary, and job outlook.

There's an interesting discussion about job opportunities for physics majors at:\nhttp://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=26050&page=3 and\nhttp://www.uic.edu/orgs/gem-set/archive041101q5.htm\n\nMaybe you're really more interested in majoring in engineering.  Have a look at:\nhttp://www.engin.umich.edu/about/careers.html\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck to you in pursuing your dreams!

learn economics and apply your knowledge

With a degree in economics I have always been told it's not very useful to get a job with. It is more usesful to start a business with. Although economics is very important and in my opinion the smartest people have high understandings of economics, I have always been told to pair it with anouther major. The most useful feild to use econ in are all feilds relating to finance, but most of those position require a degree in finance. Thus I am majoring in Econ and finance with an accounting minor.

If its numbers and statistics - you'll be really happy with economics\n\nIf you like behavioural sciences - you'll be at home in sociology and management\n\nIf you like numbers and formats - you'll like finance and tax\n\nIf you like discussions between two parties and how they fared against each other in the court of law - whether contract law or law of torts - then its law for you\n\nBusiness administration uses all of the above - so there's something for everyone...

Besides the obvious (you can be a historian!), history majors can go into teaching, journalism, law, politics, investment banking...just kidding on the last one, but stranger things have happened.

What major do you want?

I'm a little confused as to why a degree in Physics would get you a job in finance.  but anyhoo....  Yes there are lots of jobs out there in the engineering fields, especially if you specialize in solid state or fluid dynamics.
