=Where Do I Go with Economic$?= //By Marie Hodge//

Topic number one::

1. I've discovered that a bachelor's degree in economics or finance is one of the five degrees most in demand by employers. Depending on the kind of job you want, you may need an associate's degree, a bachelor's, a master's, or a doctorate. 2. Everyone, from the average person at home to nations engaging in international trade, must make economic decisions daily. 3. People with backgrounds in economics can use their degrees to become accountants, stockbrokers, entrepreneurs, investment bankers, lawyers, teachers, loan officers, financial advisers, and more.

1. One thing I've found interesting is that median entry-level salary of economics majors with bachelor's degrees was $38,000 in 2002, according to the National Association of Business Economists. For economists of all levels of experience and education, the median annual salary was $94,000. Depending on the kind of job you want, you may need an associate's degree, a bachelor's, a master's, or a doctorate, and the imcomes are very different. Another thing that I've found interesting is this picture of Economic Career. Basically it's describing how education and money have changed from before to now. Before it was going on a down hill and now its going up.

1. One thing I still want to know is why back then grad. students were getting paid less than now? Whats the difference from then to now?

 * WHAT'S IT WORTH?

Topic number two::

1. One thing I've discovered in this topic is that on average, Blacks earn significantly less than Whites at each educational level except at the Master's level where there is no significant difference. 2. The second thing I've found is that about 25.2 percent of the adult population in 1990 had obtained a degree beyond the high school level. This is a significant increase over the levels of 20.7 in 1984 and 23.3 percent in 1987. 3. The third thing that I found is, of all people with degrees beyond high school, the highest mean monthly incomes were reported by persons with professional degrees which is $5,554.

1. One thing that I've found interesting about this link is that the average monthly earnings for people with a Bachelor's degree was $2,116. Variation by field ranged from $906 for home economics majors to $2,953 for engineering majors.

1. One question I still have is whats the least a person can get paid with each college degree?
