Purposely post this up for those who asked me what is the use of Bachelor Degree in Economics and what can an economics student be in the future.

Facts about a economics degree:

• the economics degree,unlike an accounting or an engineering degree, is a general degree intended to teach problem solving as well as basic economic principles

• training in economics gives you skills that are useful in a variety of settings, because economic issues are important in virtually every occupation

• the economics degree is flexible, that is, there are many career paths available to economics majors

• economics undergraduates attract most business employers since they are trained to recognize humanbehaviour in relation to work, production,and consumption. This is the fundamental operation of most businesses.
