During the summer before her senior year at Chico State Sarah was a waitress at the Fieldhouse Bar and Grill in Danville.

My economics degree has helped me in a million different ways, and while it doesn't seem like my career would have very much to do with my major, I am able to use a lot of the skills I acquired in college to help me, Sarah stated in a recent email. By being an economics major I learned how to problem solve more efficiently, which constantly comes in handy. I also learned a lot about excel which I have been able to apply to my job, as well as just get a firmer grasp on what is going on in the economy every day, as it affects interest rates and therefore my company.
