what can I do after BA ECONOMICS HONOURS

Hey Anubhav,

This is the list of top career options after BA Economics(Honours):

1. Policymaking : Since the core skill of an Economics graduate is her/his ability to understand the economy as a whole, many students choose to study Economics at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in order to become successful researchers and policymakers. One may aim to do this as the state or country’s finance minister in future, or as a central banker, or in other technical policymaking roles.
2. Economist in a corporate sector firm : Many corporate sector firms hire economists to conduct research on the macro business environment that they operate in, and help them better navigate business cycles and policy changes. Your work will involve conducting thorough research using statistical and econometric tools, and make recommendations based on your findings. If you choose this career, you may find yourself working for a bank, a large e-commerce firm, or even a technology major such as Google.
3. Management Counsulting : Firms employ economists to advise them on fiscal and monetary issues and problems related to the production and distribution of goods and services. The designation is of an economic advisor.
4. Finance : Since the basic skills required for Finance are taught on Economics undergraduate programmes, many Economics students go on to specialise in Finance. One may go on to a career in the financial services industry, including investment banking, corporate banking, private banking, and investment / wealth / asset management.
5. Actuarial Science: This is an emerging field if you are good at math and statistics. It revolves around the analysis of risk calculation.
6. Indian Economic Services : You could land up into a white-collar job and work hand-in-hand with the government. Economic reforms, developmental policies, price fixation, regulation, and monitoring fall within this line of work.
7. Law: If you upgrade your knowledge of economics with law, you can work on public policies, market research, and corporate law.
8. Rural Development or Thinktans : There is a great need for Economics graduates in this field in India. The economic conditions of farmers and marginal groups will benefit from your knowledge of the Indian economy and related policies.
