Dr. William Wood Ph.D.

Academic Unit Head, Economics; Director, Center for Economic Education, James Madison University

Starting salaries in economics are good -- better than for most college degrees -- and they get better as economics majors advance in their careers. Economics prepares people for leadership, and people with good leadership skills are often drawn to economics. Both effects operate to give us this observation that economics majors do well in their careers.
