I wonder what the differences are between Econ and Finance majors in terms of starting and mid career salary.
A big factor in choosing either one is whether you can get in to the right program with in the University to begin with. I remember lots of kids being rejected from the management dept, which excluded them from declaring a majoring in Accounting and Finance, and having to fall back on the liberal arts dept, and major in econ, because it was the next best thing. I’d guess this was the case for 90% of Econ majors at my school. I have no idea if this was true in other Universities.

Are you sure you’re interested in that question or in an alternative one: For a given person, how does his choice of majors between econ and finance impact his earning potential?
These are noticeably different questions. Also note that by mid-career no one at all cares about the undergrad major.
