What can you do with a Business Economics major?

What are my chances of living above poverty with with a general business major and an economics minor?

• Is it just a useless major/minor combination and that I have a shotgun shack in my future or what?

• Answer:

  Companies are choosing to not hire business majors now. It's really bad. Since you have an econ minor they might make an exception. Double major would be better. As for loving above poverty level: you're a college graduate. I think most college graduates, while perhaps not making a ton of money, will live above the poverty line. Even if you can't get a prestigious job, simply having a degree means someone will hire you. A general business degree means you can go pretty much anywhere. I wouldn't worry about it (of course, a MBA would be better.)
