Rebecca Burrows, Senior Financial Analyst at Nestle
"An economics major provides the framework to build a career in any quantitative field. The entire program constantly asks you to not just question 鈥渨hy?鈥 but to review all aspects of a given issue and apply data backed analysis to answer real life questions. Every day as a financial analyst involves being presented with a business problem and asks how to solve it through quantitative reasoning. In any job, it is imperative to understand what incentivizes and motivates coworkers and to understand their thinking.
