>Which can be done better by any STEM graduate with proper training, since we are more scientific and proficient at math.
Yes, a maths graduate could do that. But why does Amazon hire economists then? For jobs such as:

It is because economists are good at maths, but they also understand how the economy works and the problems and theory of resource allocation in a world of scarce resources where resources have alternative uses.

>Tell that to all the people who bought Snapchat stocks back on the IPO.
They bought the stocks for what they were worth at the time. They didn’t overpay at the moment they bought them, they paid exactly what they were worth. Later the value of the stocks fell.

For someone who is so concerned with “facts”, maybe you should consider the FACT that economists are paid so much and if it were only ”glorified mental masturbation” they would not be paid so much, and in many cases more than maths and STEM graduates
