Unfortunately, it seems too many people believe economists are concerned only with the business world. While it is certainly true that economists analyze the business world, the topics studied by economists go far beyond just the activities of businesses. As such, many students find economics to be an especially useful undergraduate major. Most economics courses use a little advanced math. Some don't use math at all.
Economic analysis is often common sense.
Economics is useful as a foundation for many different types of jobs and business opportunities. Understanding the economic world can obviously be very helpful to small business owners, but understanding economics is also useful in banking, financial planning and other areas of the financial services industry, insurance, marketing, international business, as well as in many areas of government and public policy. Economists with doctorate degrees work as research consultants, in government or in the corporate world, or teach economics at colleges and universities. In addition to serving as an introduction to graduate school in economics, an undergraduate major in economics can also be the foundation for graduate study in other areas, especially for a Masters of Business Administration, Masters of Public Administration, Masters of Public Policy, or a law degree. It will help you become a better citizen and a more rigorous thinker as well as advancing your career goals.
