    Yes, my cousin has that degree. Not sure what he’s doing, but he’s making lots of money. U have to make your degree work for you. Especially if it’s as something a workable as Economics. Get creative.

    Sure. It could. You could start your way at the bottom of a good firm after you graduate and work your way all the way to the top without any additional degrees. It doesn’t make any sense to get your MBA without some years of working experience.

    A Degree opens doors you have to walk through them.
