from UT-Austin in Economics? Minor in Mathematics and Business
153 hours in 3 years (Graduating Early)
GPA: 3.5
No work experience due to summer school
I know firms want more job specific degree like finance and accounting with some internship experience.
Am I still marketable?
 
My daughter, class of 2008, did a dual major in Economics and Political Science with a minor in history. Also became a qualified EMT her senior year. Little experience except with my employer because of illness as a teen.

She was offered a position as an auditor with the West Virginia state government for $42,000 a year to start. WV is known for low pay but then the cost of living there is about the lowest in the country. It is worth about the same as $51,000 anywhere else.

She did not get around to talking money with other places that wanted her as she went on to grad school in Technology Management.

Are you marketable. Yes but the market is pretty slow right now. At least Econ is a marketable degree unlike a lot of others.
