He’s going after the Econ because he finds it fun. Fun. He’s an odd duck.
Exactly the same as my son! He's a data/analysis machine as a result of his education. He can do finance numbers and formulas in his head (finance)- while also being able to analyze monetary and non-non-monetary trade-offs (economics). All from his education.
Get your kid a respectable MBA and he will be in very, very high demand, if he won't already be just with his undergrad degree. My kid has an amazing finance management job right now (24 years old- only finance person) for a huge, 150 employee, business that grosses and spends like almost $20 million per year.
My son's best friend who did a 4-year finance degree at FSU with him works for IBM in Manhattan, and has been given raises to $120k after just two years out of undergrad.
Their key was belonging to the business fraternities and business school associations, attending speakers outside of class (to see if the industry is attractive- and sometimes to ask for a job, and going well prepared (and properly dressed) to every single recruiting event.
What school is he at?
