you study econs you can work everywhere except those place where they need technical knowledge, because it is a general degree. just like BBA. it is not true you will be struggling in finding a job.
like many said, be prepared to further your study until phD level. you probably cant go far with just a degree.
i am studying it myself and from what i observed, most of the econs graduate will work as a small employee but however some (cream of the crop) did made it to investment banks and drawing high salaries.
BUT, i personally think a degree in econs is very good in terms of building your mind and thinking. it really helps you to think like an economist. econs people tend think and speak different from others. everything that goes into our brain will be analyzed with its costs and benefits.
perhaps if you are sick of it you can do something else later on your master. perhaps accountancy?
good luck.

QUOTE(faceless @ Jul 13 2010, 09:55 AM) I wonder how many people agree with this statement below. Lets take it another step and ask if a duoble major (in another non technical field) would enhance job seeking opportunities? Mumeichan, Perhaps I misunderstood you. I would not deny a double major helps but only to improve you own knowledge. I am doubtful that it would increace your chance for a job. I did a double major in Sociology. I had a class mate that did a double in Econ and Math. We applied for a vacancy in an insurance company and to our surprise I got the job. In spite of being well verse in acturial math my friend did not get the job. What can I say. Lucky? Diversity, It is always good to study something that you like. It is the interest that will carry you through it and ensure success. I had lost interest in Economic after the the second year. I found Soicology more interesting and persue it for a second major. In spite of it loosing out in term of time to Economics (Econ yr2, Socio yr0), my interest manage to help me secure it as a second major. Of course I had to catch up on time by doing summer courses. I had been in personnel and admin for about 15 years. Now I trade futures and equity. does that degree helps you trade better? |

QUOTE(Godalike @ Sep 14 2010, 10:45 PM) still a general degree without any demands in the market. No need to take MBA or CFA cos waste time and money . With MBA or CFA never guarantee you a nice job
Added on September 14, 2010, 10:53 pmto work in central bank. you must either a bumiputra or received a scholarship when studied in varsity and bond to work for them after graduation. this one no use. that one wastes money. that one wastes time. so better not study anything and start whining why your father is not ananda krishnan. can you tell me what is a NICE job and how do i get it by what education? is it ONLY accountancy which you mentioned earlier? the only profession that can earn 10k/month? |
