Drop a link to a job that would be perfect for an economics undergrad.

[@Sonamkhan-fw7yc]

1 : Market analyst 2: Actuaries 3: Research assistant

[@litt_nyla6149]

I thought actuaries were a math major, I’m aware this is a great career

[@cuborican]

I would add that any entry job available to finance majors is applicable to economics majors. The same is true for political science.

[@EconWithDrA]

That’s a good point. Thanks for sharing

[@mmsuby.]

Just graduated with an economics degree & was the best choice I ever made

[@EconWithDrA]

Congratulations. Welcome to the club!

[@luizadanson2894]

How bro ?

[@mmsuby.]

@@luizadanson2894 in my opinion its the most practical study you can do in college & feel as though it translates to the real world, you also get the necessary skills & way of thinking for almost all business subj (acc, finance, bm) & its concepts I learned in econ that i use in every second of every day such as opportunity cost that make me think a bit harder or my real life decisions. Overall great theoretical knowledge that translates to the practical world

[@kipronoemanuel9930]

Me too graduated but so sad

[@brightmulenga1134]

Very true Economics can get you a job in Finance. My Economics degree helped me land a job in Accounting

[@EconWithDrA]

Glad to hear that the degree has opened up more opportunities for you

[@litt_nyla6149]

Thanks for this information. I planned on being an accountant, but Spelman only has a economics major.

[@Jay16o.6]

what minors did you take?

[@brightmulenga1134]

@@Jay16o.6 My Bsc in Economics and Finance is a double major that specializes in both Economics , Finance and Data Science , so even specialize in advanced econometrics , financial engineering , financial risk mgt, monetary economics, financial reporting, taxation , agriculture economics , labour economics , financial economics, international finance and also international trade and the management courses in strategic management and organizational behaviour and also political economics , it's packed

[@stern_noon]

Great content as usual, thank you for your efforts.

[@EconWithDrA]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@pipelinethug]

Of course it shouldn't affect me, I really don't like how an economics degree is looked down upon as if it is easy to obtain. If you go to a reputable university, it is quantitive and rigorous, yet everyone is seemingly more impressed by a finance degree requiring one level of calculus (or none).

[@shamarbell6132]

Thanks bro now i have a idea what i want to do

[@EconWithDrA]

Glad to hear Shamar. Wishing you the best

[@EconWithDrA]

Most welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@malavikas7182]

Im currently a postgraduate taught student in MSc Economics and Econometrics. Do you think i could go forward with Actuary or Investment Banking analyst. These are 2 of the priority choices I have, but other than that i also plan to apply for business analyst and marketing analyst roles. Im just wondering if i could smoothly transition to either of the first two careers, because i would like to do it, but also wouldn't want to jump into something entirely new. I have knowledge on basic R programming (from undergrad), which im taking a certification currently for (to advance it), we have STATA as well as time series. Would these skills be sufficient?

[@M.2000-v2g]

Hi, the work you're describing sounds like the quant side of investment banking. You will have to prove your expertise in math to into it

[@EconWithDrA]

@user-mt5uu4pz4j a good Econ background should be investing in your math skills too.

[@malavikas7182]

@@EconWithDrA definitely! I would say my coursework and modules have more math than econ for that matter. Its heavily mathematical

Hi, I'm an almost-graduate economics student. I'm considering pursuing a master's degree in actuarial studies, but I'm afraid that my college may not offer me admission for this program 😅

[@GamingZone-kq2fx]

Hey bro I'm going to do ba in economics and finance is it a good choice I mean in terms of demand in market? Your opinion would mean a lot

[@EconWithDrA]

@GamingZone-kq2fx I am biased because that’s what I majored in. Most of my students with that combo are doing well.

[@EconWithDrA]

Bryan, thanks for reaching out. Do you have other experiences that you can add to your resume? Research, experiential learning projects, coding skills? These all add value and depending on when you graduate you can add them.

[@myrahtariqkhan]

Is it important to take maths or statistics to make it in economics?

[@EconWithDrA]

It helps you be better at applied economics.

[@englishgoats]

Hi Dr. A! Econ major here. I am planning on getting my masters. I have a few video ideas for you that is super helpful for people in my position (I haven't seen these on your channel). I know that this is very job-specific, but it would be really cool if you could do a video on different credentials econ majors get to be more specialized. Additionally, I am kinda worried about letters of rec. Maybe you could talk about that a little bit too, but idk if there is much to talk about there. Thanks !!

[@EconWithDrA]

Really love that idea. I added it to the video production list. Shifted things around and hopefully will have it ready on 1.22.23. Thanks for the idea.

Hi Dr. A, I am a civil engineering bachelor from Iran thinking about switching to econ foe a masters and then a PhD abroad. What are the career choices for a PhD holder in econ?

[@EconWithDrA]

Academia is a popular one but not the only. Econ PhDs are hired by government to do policy analysis, industry to model behavior and predict demand/pricing… join us on the discord to meet others that are interested in a PhD and studying economics. discord.gg/5f6tRjwwcW
