am confuse concerning career, can someone enlighten me concerning the field call economist working area

What's the point?

With an economics
degree you can work in
a variety of different
fields from finance and
banking, public policy,
sales and marketing, civil
service (government
departments, the Federal
Reserve, etc.), insurance
and actuarial work, etc.
You can also go on to do
further studies in
economics, political
science, business, or a
variety of other fields.
If you're certain your
interest is in the
business world, a
business degree may be
a better fit, but an
economics degree does
open a lot of doors.

ADVANTAGES

1. You will learn a
lot of skills and
knowledge that you can
apply to other jobs or to
your personal life.
Learning about interest
rates, exchange rates,
economic indicators and
equity markets can help
you make better
decisions about
investing and obtaining
mortgages. The
statistical skills I gained
I've used again and
again, mostly in
business settings.

If you are a Forex trader i think you'll be interested in this part.


2. Because economics
teaches students how
to understand and spot
secondary effects and
possible unintended
consequences. This may
seem relatively
unimportant, but it's the
most useful thing I've
received from my
economics training. Most
economics problems
have secondary effects
- the deadweight loss
from taxation is one
such secondary effect. A
government creates a
tax to pay for some
needed social program,
but the secondary
effect of that tax is that
it changes people's
behavior, causing
economic growth to
slow. By learning more
about economics and
working on hundreds of
economics problems,
you learn the skill of
being able to spot
secondary effects and
unintended
consequences in other
areas. This can help you
make better decisions
about your personal life
and make you more
valuable to business;
"what are the possible
secondary effects from
the proposed marketing
campaign?" It likely
won't help you get a
job, but being able to
spot and understand the
importance of
secondary effects, it
may help you keep a job
or earn a promotion
that much faster.


3. Because you will learn
more about how the
world works. You will
learn more about the
impact decisions have
on the firm, industry,
and national level. You
will learn more about
the impact of
international trade, both
good and bad. You will
discover the effect
government policies
have on the economy
and on employment;
again both good and
bad. It will help you
make more informed
decisions as both a
consumer and as a
voter. Furthermore, I
personally believe that
having a more
economically literate set
of bureaucrats,
politicians, and
journalists would be
great for society - so
long as they always
keep an open mind
about what they've
been exposed to.
Economics, when done
properly, shouldn't so
much tell people what to
think, rather it should
give them tools about
how to think of things
more clearly and
realizing the
assumptions they may
be making.

Economist degree?

^^
lol,

There is absolutely no place for anyone who studied Economist, but there are numerous places for people who studied [b]Economics.[/b]

are you sure you studied Economics , or are you asking for someone else? I find it hard to believe that you will study a course and not know how to spell it.

[Thanks Woke, u almost said it all. But in addition to that. Some jobs are exclusively for economist e.g central or world bank governors and director must be an economist!
