What is your motivation/ inspiration behind Economics major you are pursuing? What are problem-solver aspects of Economics major? Can it be used to build something? Or will it about mostly abstract things?

Please correct me if I am wrong and I am more than open to your advises. Maybe, you can enlighten nowadays' Economics students. Will try to less arrogant:

I chose the major with the mindset that Economics is an interdisciplinary field and in the crossroad of Business and Technology. However, being sophomore undergraduate, I am somehow losing interest as I gradually feel that Economics teaches me the world as it is and kinda does not offer me tools to build something ( sounds egoistic i know but, I like to build, lead things). Building, creativity involving courses such as Microeconomics (Intermediate) fascinates me though. But courses such as Macroeconomics and Money, Banking& Financial Markets are so-so for me ( feel like retired grandpas watching economy news when I read them). once I& my friends thought about implementing startup idea, felt like useless major student and think that even Finance majors would be more useful in this case. When my uncle& dad suggest me to do research on some Economics topics (such as how can we improve our small nation in the Caucasus economically), felt like "what good will it offer me then?". I guess I kinda fond of science entrepreneurship. Fyi, I hear advises like thinking about ML, Data Science and Analytics. What is your perspective?

Economics is a science and, therefore, less directly applicable to generating profits than many other fields it gets grouped with. It is a way of thinking about the world as much as it is a toolkit of statistical tools to make informed arguments on almost any topic. It certainly can be helpful in business situations. Perhaps it's more helpful in policy decision making. It can certainly answer the questions you posed.

Most people at the highest level of economics (as in people with Ph.D.'s) consider themselves scientists first and foremost. Most people at the top level of Finance or Accounting are probably C-suite level executives in large corporations.

It is not likely to be as beneficial to someone with entrepreneurial aspirations as a more general business degree.
