This Mistake Stops 84% of Economics Students From Getting a Better Job

For years, I have seen economics students making a huge mistake with their major. It's hurting their chances at getting a better job. Last week, I was reminded of this mistake when I saw some bear cubs. It's Thursday morning, and my five kids, my wife, and I have arrived at a farm. While the farm grows some food, it's main purpose is a public attraction. It has pony rides and a small (slow) train ride. In the Fall it does a corn maze, and at other points of the year it puts on educational shows. But the biggest event every Spring is Baby Animal Days. It's a huge attraction because (1) it coincides with the school district's Spring Break and (2) they bring in baby animals that you can hold and pet. I was there for one reason: bears.
That’s great advice especially the use of analogy to make the point. It would be interesting to hear the psychology of why students postpone econometrics. Is it partly that more math confident students self select into engineering? Is it branding? If econometrics was relabeled “intro data analytics” would enrollments jump?
