What would you do after getting a bachelor's degree considering the economic conditions


What would you do after getting a bachelor's degree considering the economic conditions?
I'll be graduating with a Honors BA in economics next year and I was thinking about what to do next. Law school is an option however, if my GPA doesn't improve to a reasonable number that would be accepted by good schools then I would think there is no point financially in attending law school. Should I further my economics education and obtain a MA in Economics? What about other fields like philosophy, political science?

Get a minor in computer science so you can go get a job...

Philosophy and Poli Sci are both foundation education degrees that you do at the Bachelors level to prepare to Law school (Law school is really the only thing Philosophy has going for it). It would be less wise to pursue either of them at the Masters level unless you intend to get a PhD and be a professor. You should probably do your best to find employment after you graduate. A crappy job market doesn't mean that jobs don't exist. If the job hunt doesn't work out, then consider going back to school for a Masters in Econ or whatever field you'd like to work in.

When all else fails Creativity prevails - take that from an Econ grad. You have to tools to create your own destiny and future. Move home, start something up. Get creative and start your own business/website/foundation/anything. Analyze the situation and find a solution, or seek your purpose in life and hit that hard. No matter what do not make any big financial commitments - these will hold you down and prevent you from taking your own time to create something for yourself and your future. Trust me you do not want to work 8 hours a day for some goofy rich man. It doesnt pay in the long run. Its a waste of youth and education as well. But on the other hand, yea there are many jobs, good ones too. You might have to move to a big city where more money is but you will find something if you really want to. The advice I got was - when the economy sucks stay in school. So in essence you have too many options to even handle. Goodluck fellow grad.
