One thing that makes me nervous -- I know you also go to Northwestern and as you know economics is the single most popular major on campus. It may be worth it to focus on a more practical degree in your target field in order to differentiate yourself from the "horde." If the sub-speciality that you want to focus on is economics, go for it, but don't just take economics for economics' sake.
Very true. Unlike the 99% of other economics majors on this campus, I thoroughly enjoy the subject.
I know what I want to do after I graduate. I'm moving out to San Francisco. Do you have similar plans? I'll be back on campus next Saturday if you'd like to meet up for lunch.

Love to. Always up to make new friends. I'm moving in on Friday. Gimme an email (in my profile).
I'm moving out to San Francisco. Do you have similar plans?
I'm not sure yet. I'm planning to finish the 5 year BS/MS program in CS in 4 years at the moment, but I'm also entertaining offers from a couple software companies, some in the Bay Area, some in Redmond. I was born in San Francisco and hold some startup interests, however, so SF has a certain appeal.
I was set to do a financial economics certificate program as part of Kellogg. Like I said, never went through with it. Not sure what business undergrad you're referring to. The closest thing we have is BIP (business institutions program), which I was going to do but settled with legal studies instead. Don't plan on going to law school either. Eventually I would like to pursue an MBA, but first it's in my best interest to garner some work experience. Do you go to NU?
>Immediately dropped the Finance major and switched paths.
Just saying, this makes it seem like you were in a Finance major in a business school and switched to liberal arts to everyone not familiar with NU. Whereas you were always in the liberal arts curriculum.
