Nah - when I graduated (I won’t tell you when ;>) ) I couldn’t find a job in any field related to economics thanks to a recession. I found a trainee job as a programmer by aceing the logic test for the position, and never looked back to the field of economics because I had found my passion.
first day of class the prof says look in front of you and look behind you, look to the left of you and look to the right of you, cause come assembly class four out of the five of you won't be here.
and he was right. i was one of the 20% that graduated.
