And why I work in IT after studying economics after studying mathematics after studying philosophy. IT is pretty much dominating the world.

Same here!

The joke I tell people is that "Economics majors know enough about Economics, to know that they should be getting the hell OUT of Economics and INTO Tech. Thanks Economics! For telling me why my decisions were wrong, and that I should be doing something else!"

Seriously. Though finance may pay better. I still use economics for personal decisions. It helps to be able to understand leading data points and put together some data.

The economy (US or global?) was forecast to go into recession in Nov 2016 but didn't. Granted, there seems to have been a post-Trump election business bump. That can easily wear off.
