go straight for the stat and forget about he economics. There are job openings in corporate america in everything from insurance underwriting to marketing for statisticians with graduate degrees. Not sure about the marketability of an advance econ degree.
I wish I could :/
However, my GPA (3.364) is too low for admittance into the NCSU graduate Stats program. Heck, the Econ requirements were a 760+/800 quant score on the GRE!
That’s why I took the Econ route and plan on obtaining a Master’s Minor in Statistics.
