Economics - Career Know-How

 Economics is the practical and theoretical science of the production, distribution, and consumption of resources. It is the study of how everyone, from individuals to businesses to societies, allocate these scarce resources. For many this may all sound a bit dry, but economics is a hugely varied subject, with practical applications that transfer to tons of other fields and can be incredibly valuable in your non-work life as well.

Studying economics will leave you with an analytical mind, the ability to work with numbers and overcome problems in creative and innovative ways. That being said, having a natural affinity for maths and analytical skills before you start this degree will not only be useful, but most probably quite necessary.

Economists can have a wide variety of jobs with different roles, but generally good communication skills will always be a requirement. They might need to prepare reports and presentations, which means writing skills and also the ability to communicate ideas and concepts to an audience in a clear and understandable way.

Economics is an incredibly useful and varied career path, that will allow you to pursue a great variety of opportunities in many different fields and industries. Not only that, a knowledge and understanding of economics can also help you in many aspects of your non-work life.
