^TBH, it's a fail degree.
What you earn as a degree *should* be reflective of your interests. What you do with it doesn't have to be related (it often isn't) but what you enjoy. It's a vague answer, but so is your future.
There really isn't anything you learn in econ that is 100% directly applicable to the work you do after you graduate unless you're headed for academia.

Money and banking (210) is pretty straight forward. If Akbar is teaching, even better.
Game theory for me, was fun. I loved it and found it easy to pickup. Plus, I recommend taking it now so you are ready for 302.
Econ is pretty easy at SFU with the exception of two instructors, NOT COURSES: kessel and Lufessman. And everyone should take a course with Akbar, guy is uselss and horrible but it is quite an experience. not to mention easy Grades. Quote: |
Thats understandable but I mean what do people typically go into after completing such a degree? I've searched it up on google but the results are somewhat vague, I'm curious what actual people have to say.
| BTW, I graduated with an econ degree from SFU and turned down jobs at the bank (account manager). Now I'm working in a field not even related to Econ directly. If you wish to go into retail banking, you do need a degree as an account manager. It's really not that great and pay is around 38k starting (from the places that I interviewed with).
Secondly, if you want to do something in economics, the degree is not much help. Go get your masters and
get comfortable with econometrics. And it is more likely that you will end up on the east coast. The one job that I really wanted and didn't get, was at the central bank of Canada. The interview was pretty intense and required a strong grasp of analysis. Like many people have told you already though- econ does not lead you anywhere directly. It will be up to you to find how to apply it and sell yourself.
Oh and I want to add one more thing: There was some thread awhile back about grades not playing a role, that's BS. All of the jobs I applied for required a transcript and asked on the application for my GPA. Don't know positively 100% sure, but my friend and I both applied at Deloitte and he never received a call back. His GPA was considerably lower than mine and our work experience/resume were very similar
