Interested in econ finance but bad at math-other careers?

Hello,

I absolutely love econ at the lower level before it gets into heavy analytical graphing and math....also, i love finance concepts.

what are other careers that I could possibly consider? do banking/consulting jobs require analytical majors? I can do well in basic math, math SAT was 750 but when it comes to calc.....no.

 

Private tutor in a major city. I remember when I was doing SAT prep (not saying that's what you have to offer) in Manhattan and my parents were paying $300-400/hr. It's nuts. Join a strong company or establish a solid client base and go off on your own. Either way, earning potential is quite high.

And sure, you can definitely go into banking or consulting without being a math wiz.

 

If you got a 750 (98%) on your sat math, you can learn calc perfectly fine. 750 is an elite score, one that puts you at/near the median for highly technical colleges (MIT, ga tech, etc). Sounds like an effort problem to me.
