Careers in Economics and Finance
Economists are highly skilled professionals capable of informed discussion and decision-making in any area of enquiry. They may undertake research and analysis, provide forecasts to governments, business, financial and international policy organisations, evaluate investment proposals for organisations in both public and private sectors and act in advisory roles to key groups in government or industry. It is the intellectual toolkit provided by the study of economics that distinguishes economists from other career professionals. The application of structured thinking, rigorous marginal techniques and a focused imagination opens up many career opportunities for students of economics in both specialised economic environments and broader business activity. Some of these options are listed below.
