45.06 Economics — Florida Course Repo

Lawyer SOC 23-1011

Lawyers advise and represent clients in courts, before agencies and in private dealings — researching the law, drafting documents, negotiating, and arguing cases. In Florida the route runs through a Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited law school, the Florida Bar Examination and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. ⚠ There is no required or preferred undergraduate major: law-school applicants arrive from every field listed below.

Economics — 3,235 applicants, 4.4% (LSAC, 2018–19), and the HIGHEST mean LSAT of the large majors at 159.7.

Data Scientist SOC 15-2051

Data scientists turn messy data into decisions — cleaning and preparing it, building and validating statistical and machine-learning models, and explaining the result to people who will act on it. ⚠ There is no licence, no entrance examination and, for most people now working in the field, no data science degree: the occupation is older than the major.

Economics — 10 institutions, 1,111 completions, the second-largest field here. Econometrics is applied statistics under another name, and economics graduates arrive knowing what a causal claim costs.

Financial Analyst SOC 13-2051

Financial analysts value companies and securities, build the models firms decide by, and measure the risk of being wrong. ⚠ A median of $103,570 with 7% growth. ⚠⚠ It is a CHOICE path, but a concentrated one: counted degrees put business at about half of working analysts, with the social sciences — economics among them — the next largest block. ⚠⚠⚠ And the finding that should redirect some readers: the ANALYTICAL roles in this family are growing at 7% while the ADVISORY ones grow at 1%, despite paying the same or more. This page covers four roles.

⚠ Economics. The counted data places social sciences second among financial analysts' degree fields at about 12%, and economics is classified within that category — so this is the largest non-business feeder and a strong route into the quantitative roles.
