Economics
This grad's skills with spreadsheets are perfect for getting through the lean college years. Grads with this frame of mind are practical and business-minded, with the bottom line always in mind. But this grad doesn't lack a fun side--as long as the fun doesn't compromise economic integrity.

When you're a student (or the parent of a student), every penny counts, and you always want the most for your money. The PalmOne Tungsten E2 delivers Bluetooth, outstanding battery life, a vivid screen, and more, all for an affordable price. You don't have to have an economics degree to know that this is a good deal.
