How do I stay ahead as an economics major

Hi everyone,

This fall, I’m going to university as an economics major, and I’d like advice on what kind of projects I can build in my portfolio to deepen my knowledge on the topic and become more hirable. I’m proficient in a few coding languages, but with codex/claude, there are few things outside of my scope.

To be clear, I will be trying to pick up another major in computer science/math/AI, so any recommendations should be adjacent to the job opportunities I may receive. By the way, what job opportunities arise with this kind of double major?

As recruiters/people working in the field, what kind of projects from undergrads tend to wow you, and what kind of knowledge do you tend to find the most important to work in the field.

Thanks in advance for any input.
