Hmmm, a degree with a guaranteed in economics job at the end? That would be a good description for Solvay business School that is in Belgium.
In another hand, any diploma's can open you enough doors if you're skilled. The only CEO I know personally have a bachelor in economics from a pretty minor business school.

So you have the choice : find a reputable business school anywhere in the world and try to get in (France is awesome for foreign student, look it up) or get any degree and try to build on.

W stosunku do Zachodu konsekwentnie utrzymuje postawę papugi. W stosunku do własnego społeczeństwa przybiera rolę pawia
O współczesnym polskim 'inteligencie' (zasłyszane)

It says that an erudite person copies the west blindly, and that he acts like a peacock to his society.

@Il palazzo: I was wondering if another polish person would reply. Learning german ATM (In addition to english). No chance for UJ as my family is not the wealthiest. I was thinking more close to home education. It'd be rather hopeless if in the end only one Univeristy provided good education.

I absolutely love the introductory information that a College in Kielce has:

Charakterystyczną cechą usług jest ich wysoka pracochłonność, co sprawia, że sektor ten generuje miejsca pracy, co przyczynia się do poprawy sytuacji na regionalnym rynku pracy. Na specjalności "ekonomika handlu i usług" kształcimy ekonomistów i menedżerów dla szeroko rozumianego sektora usług. W ramach tej specjalności studenci zapoznają się z wiadomościami z zakresu prawa handlowego, celnego i dewizowego, ekonomiki i organizacji przedsiębiorstw handlowych, ich analizy ekonomicznej oraz rozliczeń międzynarodowych.

For all it's worth, introductory blurbs are useless - it's always a bunch of vaguely hurrah-optimistic general statements that tell you less than you already know, and seem almost identical wherever you look.
I only posted UJ as an obviously recognizable reference, as I don't know where you live(or didn't know - close to Kielce I presume?).
Well, make sure that you can have both English and German in the curriculum, and that it's more than basics.

Here's an assessment of schools of economics, if you haven't seen it yet:
http://www.students.pl/studia/kultura/details/38922/Ranking-uczelni-ekonomicznych-2010
Kinda big cities only, but maybe Katowice is worth trying?
The schools in Kielce look good too. Maybe The University of Technology(Politechnika Świętokrzyska)? Seems to have a long history, allows flexibility with courses selection, some courses are available in English, which is a nice touch. Also, education at a "Politechnika" always seems to be a good keyword to place in your CV. Practically guarantees high standards of many formal courses like e.g.maths.
Oh, and they do take part in the Erasmus program.

Now, Erasmus is great, you see - it's rather easy to enroll, you get a scholarship, which while might not be enough to fully cover living abroad, will take care of most of the costs, and in the end studying there shouldn't be any more expensive(and possibly cheaper) than the usual costs of studying. Unless you really *need* to go to Belgium or Finland .
You get a great experience, nice improvement to your CV, and lots of fun, at no additional cost. Definitely worth checking out once you get an opportunity.

This ranking places Politechnika Świętokrzyska roughly half way down the list, which is not bad.

Something else to consider, is a degree of the "economics and IT" kind, if you can find one. Might not turn you into a fully-fledged programmer, but might be enough to open some job opportunities.

Anyway, good luck and may the force be with you.
