Anyone you want. But you will need a Masters In Econ or Econometric Sciences to boost your earning potential later in your career.

The City I live in has alot of head offices located in it, along with a booming oil industry. I think I eventually want to work at one of these major companies. I guess an econ degree would help me get in with one of them? I'm in my second year and I think I want to change from marketing and go for an econ degree. I don't know if I would get my masters or not. Do you have an Econ degree Wodin? People always tell you "you have to take what you enjoy in school, not what will make you the big bucks" I'm trying to do something I like that will make me the big bucks.

If you want to boost it even more, go for your doctorate. Then you can really do ANYTHING.

What courses are you taking? I took only a couple of econ courses to fufill the 'liberal arts' requirement for the universite. (I am a math major).

I have an MBA and MIS and I really did enjoy a lot of the classes I have taken. I am thinking about a PHD In Econ or CS. I can get either because I am considering teaching full time after I leave the Corporate world. I have taught part-time before, it's fun.

Definitely pursue the phD in CS...you won't regret it. There are so many opportunities for CS oriented people nowadays. Lots of money in the CS, telecommunications, programming field. Congrats on your achievements.
btw...I am going to be attending graduate school for my phd in mathematics in January. Looking forward to it.
