These days econ is only worth it if you're very specialized in one of two other areas: law (stepping from a BA in econ to a law degree) or applied math (quantitative economics is hot -- but you need to know a lot! Modern models are all controlled stochastic differential equations, which requires heavy duty knowledge!).

If you are talking about stochastic differential equations you seriously need to major math and pretty much nothing but math.
