Some graduates in economics are interested in academic careers. They are drawn by the love of the study of economics and the prospect of teaching and writing about economics as a career.
Government and Not-for-profits
Some students enter government service or choose jobs with non-profit entities. Governments at every level hire economists for their facility with statistics and analysis.
Economic Journalism. Economists who can write for the general reader are scarce. If you enjoy current events, you might consider work as a business writer or editor for a daily newspaper, a free-lance writer for magazines or trade publications, a television journalist specializing in economic affairs, or even a career in the growing field of business journalism on the Internet.
