I think that if you study economics as a major, then you probably want to get into academia. Maybe you'd like to be a professor. It either that or you'd like to get involved in policy making. You could work for the government. You could become a politician. You could also work at an embassy. If you just take some economics classes, I think that's nice to get a better picture of how your economy works and how it interacts with the other economies in the world. If a very complex system and it's fascinating.
