Economics degrees: bringing more career options that you’d think 5/11/2015


BCom Economics has become a byword for success and status. But this has also meant that field has seen an influx of people wanting to get their slice of the pie. The result is that each person’s stake is slightly less than, say, then years ago. But there is more to finance, business and success than accounting.

Economics, for instance, is a field that holds a whole range of opportunities that many people ignore. After completing a BCom in Economics it’s also not necessary for you to simply become and economist. The opportunities are far reaching.

Do you enjoy management? Then general management is just for you. Think you can raise the stakes in banking and insurance? An economics degree gives you tools to do it. Fancy yourself as more of a consultant? Well then, economics is the perfect background to business and financial consulting. Or do you prefer the bigger picture of business? The great news is that corporate advising and business strategy planning will be right up your alley.

The rapid-fire, fast-paced world of business will still be at your complete disposal. Just because you’ve decided to take a different route does not mean you won’t have exactly the same (and perhaps more) opportunities. The right training is exactly what will launch you on what will hopefully be a long and successful career.
