If you like it and has a passion for it, go for it. Studying economics doesnt mean that you are only restricted to work as an economist. Your course structure will include a lot of other topics beside econmics with a fair emphasis on business, finance, statistics and of course management.

Job openings include banks, management trainees in MNCs, research analysts and many others.

With a job opening, the "can do or willing to do" attitude will get u up the corporate ladder faster than you realise.

If you do a postgrad with an MBA, it would be a distinct advantage.
