If you can cut it in Econ and do well, you're going to be just fine in the real world.

I disagree somewhat. I think if you can cut it in econ, engininering, bcomm etc. that is only part of the equation. You've got to have the personality, ingenuity, hard work and most importantly people skills to succeed in the so-called real world. I've seen plenty of individuals from all of these disciplines (with high GPA's) wallow in mediocrity once they hit the career world.
