Currently an undergrad student majoring in Math Econ and minoring in Data Science. This is video reassuring to watching knowing that I will be able to find a job after I graduate 🥺
I know right? All of these jobs require work experience of like 1-2 years which I don’t have. Super upset no one tells you you’re screwed. Wasted 4 years of my life.
@sami If you're interested in making money, go to finance. Economics isn't about making money. It's about learning how humans make decisions, but with lots of unrealistic mathematical models which tells you nothing about how humans make decisions irl. It's basically a "pretend science".
Project Accountant here with a B.A. in Economics with Emphasis in Public Policy. I actually fell in love with accounting during my pre-major phase of my Econ degree after taking financial accounting. I also loved fundamentals financial management during my Junior year. When looking for internships and eventually landing a job I really went that route in terms of where I wanted to land. I will be taking more college units through an extension program in order to sit for the CPA in my home state, but I know for a fact my Econ degree has set me up for success. It’s a great supplement to accounting and financial management.
common analyst stacks are from my experience: business analyst -> business intelligence analyst -> data visualization analyst / reporting analyst data analyst -> database analyst / statistician -> data engineer / data scientist -> data architect / solution architect data analyst -> mba -> strategist -> product architect
Thanks for the video! I graduated with an Econ major and looking for work in California. Having a rough time on indeed finding a listing that will train/accept with 0-1 relevant work experience in the field.
Thanks a million for this! I switched from pre-med to an Econ major with a possible double major or minor in CompSci, and have been stressing about job security in the future, but this helps a lot! Do you have any tips on what an Econ major should do over the summer (I'm currently a sophomore)? Thanks again!
Wow, I switched from Nursing to Economics. I can relate to this. But it's been 2 years since your comment. Did you get a career in Econ major? How did it turn out for you? 😊
I’ve always worried about how I could potentially not get a job with an economics major. I’m currently a third year economics student at the University of Texas, and I haven’t had any job experience related to the field and I just wanted some tips and what I should focus on in order to improve my resume.
Not sure if this is too late, but if you need some tips on how to make an econ major useful let me know. I have one myself, even though I don't recommend it.
Im an undergraduate that commited to economics. I was worried I wouldn't build a proper carrier, but after watching this economic series its actually more reasuring. If anything im going to start working on scraping that you mentioned in previous videos. Thank yoh for insight in economics !
Next year I'm going to study international economics and trade in china . And I'm so happy that I found before starting the year because now I'm sure that I'm made the right decision . Thanks and keep going ❤
Great question. Most important is understanding what it all means. So make sure you have a good econometrics class, and get an applied econometrics class if you can. Then I'd make sure I knew Python. Python is versatile and also that's where most of the major developments are today. The skills from understanding Python will then transfer to most other tools.
I was hoping to get into the BBA program to major in accounting at the university I transferred to but with the way everything happened, I now have to major in Econ. I always wanted to be an accountant but Idk where I’m headed now. This video sort of helped, thanks.
Do you know how the job prospects look like in Europe? I am finishing my bachelor's this semester and looking to do a master's, focusing on labor economics if possible.
I want to persue Masters after my graduation in economics but I'm confused if I should persue in my masters in economic or in another field like Data analytics or International affairs or Marketing. I just want my Masters degree to have value as I already have a degree in economics so idk if a masters in it would be worth it or should i specialize in another field.
If you're mexican and considering studying economics and you're thinking on landing a nice job in data analysis/science, don't do it, they'll teach you a lot of micro, macro, and some econometrics, but for the most common tools for data analysis such as, python, SQL, tableau, Power BI, they won't, so you'll end up learning all of those in a course or by yourself, and finding out that you probably didn't need the bachelors degree. Well, this is all from my experience obviously lol. In any case, I would consider other options as major like data scince, data engenieering, computer science or something like that if you would like a job of this kind.
What job would you recommend for economics if you like to work with money like things like stocks, investing, decision making etc etc, or is that learned more towards a finance major? I do lots of stocks and I guess when I graduate I would wanna work a lot around money
That tends to lean more towards a finance major from what I am aware of but I'm not too sure. I recommend speaking with an advisor or counselor in your university or school. You can also post that question on quora or Reddit to get more opinions from people who know way more about this.
So I’m getting an economics degree at USF and I graduate in the spring. I’m looking at entry level jobs and internships and I feel like what I’ve learned doesn’t apply to anything in the job descriptions and responsibilities; or it only partially applies. I haven’t had to do any analysis to the level these jobs require!
Most jobs don't expect you to be able to do the analyses they're looking for as soon as you start. They'll train you and you'll work with more experienced analysts until you understand how it works. But you could start now and get some experience analyzing data. Check out Kaggle and see if you can pick up some skills.
I'm about to pursue degree in economics and I have not been studying computer for awhile, what kinda skill should I develop on computer for economics??
I’m 2nd year majoring in Economics , but whenever I try looking for jobs it’s always like prior 1-2 years experience when I don’t have any experience how can I even start working ? Please help sir
Ignore any "previous experience required" in the description. Just apply. Usually that just means their dream candidate would have experience already. But they'll be happy with someone with zero experience but good potential.
Could you make a video on more non profit jobs. I'm interested in making a different especially using research skills. I feel like I need to go to grad school to fit in these jobs
I am currently a Special Major in Environmental Economics major, and want to know if I should change it to Economics to make myself more marketable? It’s a special major because it doesn’t exist at my school, which makes me worried that it won’t be as marketable.
Depends on what type of career you want or on what type of fields you want to focus on working at. But yeah overall, I believe it is best to just major in economics but this is merely my opinion in which is backed by no data. So I recommend speaking with a professor from your university or an advisor on this.
As a graduate i would just recommend 1-doing alot of internships the closer to the field the better but if you didn't find related internship doesn't matter just go with whatever available in your area. 2-While in internship try making connections with multiple businesses owners and specially with startups it will help you understand the basics of how firms enter the economy. 3- learn about data bases and data in general to get a better understanding start with Microsoft Access it's great for beginners to get an idea for how a database work. 4-alot of people would recommend learning program languages but i didn't do that and i work fine but if you're good with programming go for it it's a great option but I'm a bit dump to understand it so i don't which one is better for you. Bonus-keep your study materials organized in a folder because you might need them. economics is easily forgotten without practice .
And also a small business is a better option to start because you will learn more compared to a bigger on even if they trained you. Or at least that what i think
Definitely sending this one to my students - so many (and so many faculty!) have no clue what job a major in economics can lead to in 2021. Subscribed!
What kind of economic degree plan would I pursue if I wanted to become really good at financial analysis and work for certain institutions where I look into where they want to invest in, or to be a broker, anticipate earnings, business evaluations, etc
I have put myself through school while driving truck. Now that I've been ready to enter the field of economics I find it difficult to land a job. Despite being in the middle of my master's program companies are really looking for somebody with experience. it's the standard catch-22 of experience vs. Education. But it's not like I don't have any experience. I ran my own business, then the talent buyer for Rock fest committees, I have written articles on economics and politics for several publications, and I've even ran for political office. Still breaking into the field is so much more difficult than simply googling economics degree and searching the job fields. Do you have any recommendations for this conundrum?
It seems like most jobs come from making connections with people and getting some kind of referral. Just one person in the company or known by the company can get you a long ways. I'd start reaching out to people you already know or people you want to know and ask them for advice. They might refer you to a company.
I'm going through the same situation of not having the 'right' work experience after taking secretarial roles to put myself through school. I hope you found a job in the right field. All the best.
Have to add one fact if you want to pursue the higher studies: PhD in Business (Management) is compensated much higher than PhD in Economics, especially PhD in Accounting and Finance. The Accounting PhD has an extremely strong marketability. These two can make almost CA$150K a year in Canada as a new assistant professor. On the other hand, professors in Economics make much less than professors in the business school and usually more difficult to get the tenure track position. If you really love economics, please consider a PhD in Business Economics offered in the business school instead of the department of economics.
Yes, and the economics of it make sense. Economics PhDs usually get jobs in social science departments, where their pay is tied to what sociology or psychology professors make. Business Economics or Finance majors, however, are usually employed in business schools, where salaries are higher. Most business PhD programs are pretty small and require a really specific explanation for why you applied to them. But if you can get in then you can have a strong career!
Sir how to enrich economics as a demanding in this time and with application of economic subjects ... suggest some books on application of economics for good knowledge of economics..
Hi. I'm a first year Economics student and my GPA is 3.5/4.0 but I got a D in Computer Applications and Library Studies. Would my D affect my job prospects in future when I want to get a job?
Some schools will tell you your "major GPA" which will be your GPA in just the classes you needed for your major. But overall I can't imagine a D in one class having a significant effect on `your job prospects.
for careers more focused on business then I would recommend finance. Generally, for job opportunities, finance is better but you can make do with economics if you network and learn some good set of hard skills during your time in university. In the end, it really depends on what type of career you're aiming for and which major you enjoy most.
I graduated with an Economics degree from FSU last August. I have been steadily applying for jobs with very little feedback. Id say about 90% of jobs that come up on indeed require 1-2+ years of mandatory experience, and usually there are other necessities such as a Series 7 license. I'm just not sure how i'm supposed to get any experience seeing that most jobs require prior experience.
@@TroyBuck what do you do in the investment company? please share to us.. i want to take finance degree but unfortunately in my university they only offered economic degree. and im afraid if economic degree wont have easy job opportunities
I’m a second year university student double majoring in Economics and Spanish. Do you believe it would be possible to enter into the investment banking field? I had debated studying finance, but Economics seemed to grab my attention better. Do you think it would be feasible? Love the channel by the way!
For sure! Here's what I would do: start a blog about investment banking in Spanish-speaking countries (or pick a specific one). Read news about investment banking in Spanish periodicals, then communicate it to an English-speaking audience. It will combine your two interests, and when you apply for a job in a few years you'll be conversant in the field.
hey man, just wanted to see if you can update me on your degree status and how everything has being going for you with your economics degree. I’m interested in it and want to hear other feedback
I'm at first year of my b.s and on my University we choose an faculty after first year. I'm interested in economics, policy economics and law, so I would appreciate working as a policy analyst or counselor but I wonder whether economics degree would suit that type of career. I have heard that majority of economics graduates work in finances so wouldn't finance degree be better?What do you think?
They complement each other well. Economics degrees are usually small, so you can fit in a double major or a minor. But engineering degrees are pretty big, and it can be tough to fit in another major. But they go together really well. They both think about how to optimize under constraints.
It's more realistic to achieve these jobs if you join a college with good placement assistance because once you get into analyst or associate then you could grow in that position. But it's really a tight bet to achieve these without placement unless you have such awesome credentials and connections. Or look for internships
Internships are just vastly overrated. Yes for some people they work well. But for many people you just end up doing absolutely nothing related to what you want to be doing as a job and you just end up being an endless supply of free labor for employer.
I have a bachelors in Business and I've always loved Economics, but there was no Econ program at my city's university. Do you think I should go for an Economics masters? I don't live in the States, so masters are valued a lot over here. But do you consider the transition to be acceptable (considering my lack of math/policy credits)? Or should I go for an undergrad econ degree in another city?
I think a bachelors in business is sufficient preparation for a masters in economics. Catching up on the math shouldn't be too bad, especially with all of the resources available on the internet.
It's funny I live in Alexandria, VA and both Springfield, VA and Falls Church, VA are literally 15min from my house and I'm majoring in Economics looking for a career path Lol
That’s pretty much the combination that companies who bring new graduates into their FLDP (Finance Leadership Development Program) look for. Many do like more focus on the accounting.
Yeah. For certain careers like investment banking, they do value more on what university you went to. I wish he went a bit more in detail for these careers cause some of these careers need more than simply a bachelor's. Like becoming a data scientist, you need at least a master's or Ph.D. in data science for that. Of course, do not let take away your motivation from studying economics. I don't know much about investment banking so maybe there are there ways to get accepted. I would recommend, if you like programming, to trying honing your programming skills in college and doing side projects while also networking with professors and taking part in career events so you can network more. If you do all that you further increase your chance of getting a well-paying job and that will also put you ahead of the curve compared to other social science majors. FInally, if you can sell yourself well enough in interviews and prove yourself to be a confident and well communicative person then you pretty much did yourself the biggest favor ever. In the end, all that matters is you figure what type of field you will kinda like to work on and to go from there.

It seems like most jobs come from making connections with people and getting some kind of referral. Just one person in the company or known by the company can get you a long ways. I'd start reaching out to people you already know or people you want to know and ask them for advice. They might refer you to a company.
I'm going through the same situation of not having the 'right' work experience after taking secretarial roles to put myself through school. I hope you found a job in the right field. All the best.
I'm 50...is that to old to go to college and get an economic degree???
I don’t like economics personally but I think that you are a good host so I liked your channel just because of your personality
Have to add one fact if you want to pursue the higher studies: PhD in Business (Management) is compensated much higher than PhD in Economics, especially PhD in Accounting and Finance. The Accounting PhD has an extremely strong marketability. These two can make almost CA$150K a year in Canada as a new assistant professor. On the other hand, professors in Economics make much less than professors in the business school and usually more difficult to get the tenure track position. If you really love economics, please consider a PhD in Business Economics offered in the business school instead of the department of economics.
Yes, and the economics of it make sense. Economics PhDs usually get jobs in social science departments, where their pay is tied to what sociology or psychology professors make. Business Economics or Finance majors, however, are usually employed in business schools, where salaries are higher. Most business PhD programs are pretty small and require a really specific explanation for why you applied to them. But if you can get in then you can have a strong career!
Want to be data analyst what is the best career path using economics or statistics
Sir how to enrich economics as a demanding in this time and with application of economic subjects ... suggest some books on application of economics for good knowledge of economics..
I am going to graduate with a MPhil in Econ in England. And would like to come to the US. Is indeed the main website here for jobs? Thanks ;)
Indeed is a very popular one. I think most companies looking to hire someone like you would be posting on Indeed.
Hi. I'm a first year Economics student and my GPA is 3.5/4.0 but I got a D in Computer Applications and Library Studies. Would my D affect my job prospects in future when I want to get a job?
Some schools will tell you your "major GPA" which will be your GPA in just the classes you needed for your major. But overall I can't imagine a D in one class having a significant effect on `your job prospects.
@@MarketPowerYT Thanks
I’m a Junior in High School, and I’m struggling with if I would want to major in Economics or Finance.
I’m also struggling with this decision.
for careers more focused on business then I would recommend finance. Generally, for job opportunities, finance is better but you can make do with economics if you network and learn some good set of hard skills during your time in university. In the end, it really depends on what type of career you're aiming for and which major you enjoy most.
Thank you for this!
I love it this really helpful
Can I work as a manager/jobs that business graduates get with an undergrad in economics degree?
Yes. You probably can get those jobs better than the business graduates.
I graduated with an Economics degree from FSU last August. I have been steadily applying for jobs with very little feedback. Id say about 90% of jobs that come up on indeed require 1-2+ years of mandatory experience, and usually there are other necessities such as a Series 7 license. I'm just not sure how i'm supposed to get any experience seeing that most jobs require prior experience.
Did you ever find a job? Its been 9 months, what are you doing now?
@@beautybyvivi Yeah! I started at an Investment company a few months ago. Once Covid started to go away I started getting a lot of opportunities!
@@TroyBuck nice do u think BS or BA economics is better? Which one better guarantees you a job in economics?
@@TroyBuck and if u can reveal, do u get paid good? Or average?
@@TroyBuck what do you do in the investment company? please share to us.. i want to take finance degree but unfortunately in my university they only offered economic degree. and im afraid if economic degree wont have easy job opportunities
I’m a second year university student double majoring in Economics and Spanish. Do you believe it would be possible to enter into the investment banking field? I had debated studying finance, but Economics seemed to grab my attention better. Do you think it would be feasible? Love the channel by the way!
For sure! Here's what I would do: start a blog about investment banking in Spanish-speaking countries (or pick a specific one). Read news about investment banking in Spanish periodicals, then communicate it to an English-speaking audience. It will combine your two interests, and when you apply for a job in a few years you'll be conversant in the field.
hey man, just wanted to see if you can update me on your degree status and how everything has being going for you with your economics degree. I’m interested in it and want to hear other feedback
I am about to graduate with my associates and I am undecided as to what to major in.😭
These are not jobs for people with a bachelor's degree. Most are for Master's or Ph.D.
Econ graduate and now I’m a accounting clerk for right now .. trying to switch to something else in about a year or two
Econ degree right? not master ,
I'm at first year of my b.s and on my University we choose an faculty after first year. I'm interested in economics, policy economics and law, so I would appreciate working as a policy analyst or counselor but I wonder whether economics degree would suit that type of career. I have heard that majority of economics graduates work in finances so wouldn't finance degree be better?What do you think?
Tons and tons of economists work in policy jobs. Just Google "Policy economist" and you'll find lots of options.
How about a combination of economics and engineering as a dual degree. What's your view?
They complement each other well. Economics degrees are usually small, so you can fit in a double major or a minor. But engineering degrees are pretty big, and it can be tough to fit in another major.
But they go together really well. They both think about how to optimize under constraints.
Assalamu alaikum!Can I become diplomat & ambassador by studying economics???
It's more realistic to achieve these jobs if you join a college with good placement assistance because once you get into analyst or associate then you could grow in that position. But it's really a tight bet to achieve these without placement unless you have such awesome credentials and connections. Or look for internships
Internships are just vastly overrated. Yes for some people they work well. But for many people you just end up doing absolutely nothing related to what you want to be doing as a job and you just end up being an endless supply of free labor for employer.
I have a bachelors in Business and I've always loved Economics, but there was no Econ program at my city's university. Do you think I should go for an Economics masters? I don't live in the States, so masters are valued a lot over here. But do you consider the transition to be acceptable (considering my lack of math/policy credits)? Or should I go for an undergrad econ degree in another city?
I think a bachelors in business is sufficient preparation for a masters in economics. Catching up on the math shouldn't be too bad, especially with all of the resources available on the internet.
I’m an incoming freshman for Econ. What math is used most in economics?
You'll want at least calculus, but it depends on how far you want to go.
Calculus is used most
Which is the best route to take industrial economics or basic economics?
We should make a gc or discord for all us econ majors
Can I work I supplies chain with an economics degree?
What's your dream job with economics?
Lawyer & work in bank
Because economic can work as accounting , financial, law ect.
I'm interested in economic theory as it impacts public policy more than mathematics and analysis.

I like this video 🤩
It's funny I live in Alexandria, VA and both Springfield, VA and Falls Church, VA are literally 15min from my house and I'm majoring in Economics looking for a career path Lol
You're in a great area for studying economics. Tons of great universities and lots of organizations looking for economists.
Market Power you should do another video about economics internships
Does it differ if you are a BA or a BS in economics
Is a combination between architecture and economics good?

Check your post on the other video for my reply.
Can you also post industry work for post grad econ student?

Would you recommend CFA (lvl 1) for a recent undergrad looking to break into finance? or would data science skills would be better?
The data science skills will be more generally applicable, but if you really want to become a CFA then I guess do that.
What about the subject combination of bus, eco, acc in my a levels? Is it gonna work alright?
That’s pretty much the combination that companies who bring new graduates into their FLDP (Finance Leadership Development Program) look for. Many do like more focus on the accounting.
Don’t mix business and economics unis wont accept u because it overlaps and too narrow
Does an Econ major needs an MBA to enter corporate sector?
DOES THE WHICH UNIVERSITY I GRADUATED MATTER IN GETTING A JOB?
I STUDY BA IN ECONOMICS IN WEBSTER UNIVERSITY IN TASHKENT.
Kinda. It depends on what type of career you're aiming for.
I’ve heard it matters which university you go to for this specifically, is that true?
Yeah. For certain careers like investment banking, they do value more on what university you went to. I wish he went a bit more in detail for these careers cause some of these careers need more than simply a bachelor's. Like becoming a data scientist, you need at least a master's or Ph.D. in data science for that. Of course, do not let take away your motivation from studying economics. I don't know much about investment banking so maybe there are there ways to get accepted. I would recommend, if you like programming, to trying honing your programming skills in college and doing side projects while also networking with professors and taking part in career events so you can network more. If you do all that you further increase your chance of getting a well-paying job and that will also put you ahead of the curve compared to other social science majors. FInally, if you can sell yourself well enough in interviews and prove yourself to be a confident and well communicative person then you pretty much did yourself the biggest favor ever. In the end, all that matters is you figure what type of field you will kinda like to work on and to go from there.
Can I doing BS Economics in Pakistan get job in USA?
mind asking can I also study for a master degree In economics
Yes. Many jobs which are strictly economics related will require a master’s degree in economics.
How about the foreign economists? They can get jobs in USA?
Institutions like the IMF and World Bank are usually looking for foreign economists.
@@MarketPowerYT thank u so much
Do you think it’s smart to major in accounting and minor in Econ?
My friend is an accounting professor and he says, "We just stole everything from economists." So it seems like they go well together.
What is Hajduke
can you become an actuary with an economics degree?
Yes. But I think you have to take tests first.
@@MarketPowerYT ok cause I am considering that for a career
Are these intro positions though?
Many of them are. Usually your major only matters for intro positions, then later jobs care more about your work experience.

what difference between bba in economics and bsc econmoics?
