I'll be attending University of Michigan's LSA program and will be majoring in economics. After graduation, I'm planning on working for a good consulting company (hopefully) and work for 5 years and then get an MBA. But if nothing goes well, I could try out as a financial analyst and work my way through a CFA. The reason for the MBA is so that I could advance to a higher career. Is this a good idea?

please, dude.. u cannot plan 10 years ahead, and it is actually better to not delude yourself and imo.. economics major is something i would avoid
I would have given you a +1 if it wasn't for the econ comment.. I was an econ major :p
There is no way in hell you can plan ahead that far. You don't even know what college is like. You don't know how much the economy could change 5-8 years from now.
Choose a major and see how you like it. Your first year is going to be full of gen-eds anyways, so you can change. Hell, I changed my major in my JUNIOR year.
What's wrong with an econ major?
Why not an economics major? Don't they get good jobs, especially from target schools?
