you dont plan on going right away so you have time to involve yourself in extracurricular activities

I don't plan on going to graduate school right after, but I doubt I'll get in given that I won't have anything in my application except my transcript.
there are proffessional jobs that economics majors can apply for you just have to look.

I suspect my degree is useless in getting a job, because I don't like to work in a lab (I'm a little clumsy), and I haven't seen any jobs for Economics majors with no work experience.

as for a time line, that is on you. there are to many factors involved. But unless you change those negative images you have of yourself and your abilities it will take a long time to reach that amount.


Getting a good job is selling yourself and if you dont think to highly of the product your selling(yourself) you will most likely sell it for way to cheap. So I suggest send out resumes, go to networking functions and work on yourself image. Good things will come in time

What might be the best way, considering I have nothing except a college degree, and have only one desire, not to start off in a physical labor job? Maybe someone can give me a timeline of how I might progress towards earning 70-80k? Any path is OK.
