Please allow me to offer my humble opinion in regard to economics.....
The markets have become nothing but a rigged casino. Colleges teach economics as if it were a science, it's not. The markets are illegitimate and criminal. The forex, equity markets, bond markets, commodity markets, and all other exchange markets and OTC markets are run by criminals for criminals. Our markets have devolved into an unmitigated scam on the American public.
Please let me save you a lot of time and heart-ache, been there - done that, start by reading the book listed below. It will get you going in the right direction.
There's a storm coming, if you want the truth about money and markets, you're going to have to dig for it. And you can forget about getting the truth from governments, the schools, or the corporate owned media. Thank God for the internet, use it while you still can. Good luck.

I know for a fact that it's very hard. It will/would be very hard on your girlfriend and it's VERY expensive. Research all the costs. The hospital stay and the check ups before the birth...it all adds up. If I were in your situation I'd wait until 20-25 or at least until you are both out of high school. A 16 year old girl isn't done growing yet, so as i say again, it would be hard on her, and the baby. If you to plan on staying together for a long time, start saving money. Open a savings account and keep putting in money until you have enough that you feel secure. If something happens to you or her and you cant work then you have less income. If you do decide on having i now (which i strongly do not suggest) make sure you think everything through and you both agree to work together and want to go through with it 100 percent. I hope this helps. I wish the best of luck to you both

Economics is not a skill. It won't get you a good job. Accounting training or programming will. If those aren't good for you, then find *something* that is an actual trade that you can then apply your interests in Economics to that trade.
I totally agree with another post that the bare minimum for an employable economist is a phd. Even then, most of them are either teaching and a precious few work full-time for the government.

Well, I strongly urge you to learn another language, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, or Russian would all be good resume flags.
Work as an intern at a bank or insurance company. Seek out area of cost accounting and forecasting.
Take additional high level math course. Take a comp sci course in computer forensics to help with fraud analysis.

Entry level jobs want people who can process data for reports, not have opinions. Learn SAS, or a programing language and the basics of accounting. If you want to go to graduate school programming is essential.

To get a good job that has anything to do with economics, you need a Ph.D.
