Career Paths in Economics

As a starting point for your own further research, here is a sample of career paths sorted by field of study. This list, while extensive, is by no means exhaustive. Please note that a Bachelor’s degree alone often does not qualify you to enter into many of these occupational fields. A Master’s degree or doctorate, practical work experience, and/or key skills may also be expected. Therefore, we recommend that you conduct further research into the specific requirements of these occupational fields early on in your journey.

Career paths where graduates of economics tend to be in demand include:

- Market Research
- Communications and Journalism
- Staff and Organizational Development
- Economics and Political Consulting
- Management and Administration
- Multinational and Transnational Affairs
