Good as an add on for another skill based major and good for pre law. Useless by itself. Find less theory based class and you will succeed, unless you want to go into research or teaching or PhD. Learn accounting or computer science or data science or you have a hard time ding a job. Economics is not likely to be your career so plan another skilled based major or trade school Or connect with people in your desired industry. Your resume with only a degree will not make you successful.
