In terms of average starting salary, economics is a pretty good choice (from CNN Money):
The average starting offer for seniors majoring in:
Economics: $51,631
Finance: $47,905
Marketing: $41,323
Business Administration: $43,523
Mechanical engineering: $54,587
Chemical engineering: $60,054
Management information systems: $46,568
Civil engineering: $47,145
Electrical engineering: $54,599
Computer science: $51,070
Accounting: $46,508
Logistics/Materials management: $43,294
Liberal arts (including psychology, political science history, English): $30,502
OK, so maybe engineering is more lucrative, but then there is the compensating wage differential to consider.

It would help if you sorted the degrees from most lucrative to least. People that ain't meticulous may end up with the impression that Economics is more lucrative than Engineering. Plus, you are forgetting the medical field.
