lol breh econ is the first or second most popular major at the Ivies and other schools at that level
it combines not too difficult course material and pretty good respectability for general business jobs coming out of college (stem may be more respected but if you're gonna get weak grades it's not worth it)
Most popular undergraduate majors in 2013-14:
Yale "Factsheet" | Office of Institutional Research
- Economics (14%)
- Political Science (13%)
- History (8%)
- Psychology (7%)
Lux is obviously lying its ass off
