Do economics, but don't go to a substandard university where you pay too much and end up with a massive debt. Look for options outside the U.S.; it may be cheaper, at a better level.

I guess the job prospects are better with economics, but don't choose solely on basis of job prospects, you really don't want to end up in a field you just don't like (but if you like economics, by all means go and study it). That doesn't mean you should study Arab intersectional feminist studies though. But I'm really not familiar with job prospects for people with a political science degree.
