University education is less about vocational training and more about developing the skills and knowledge that enable the student to be competitive in a dynamic economy. In an economy that is undergoing dramatic technological and institutional changes, one must develop a strong foundation of basic skills (skills of communication, problem solving, analysis, computing) that allow the person to continually learn, to be able to adapt to a changing, and highly unpredictable, labor market. This strategy is superior to one where the student is narrowly trained for a specific type of employment. The B.A. in Economics is one of the most marketable degrees.

Although a job whose duties are economic in orientation often will require an advanced degree, the graduate with a B.A. in Economics is highly competitive for employment in all types of business and government. Studies reveal that Economics graduates earn some of the highest incomes among college graduates.

Business Economist Responsibilities include analysis of data, business and market forecasting and analysis of policy effects on firms and markets. The largest employers of business are firms in banking, securities and investments, business services and manufacturing.

Government Economist Responsibilities include policy analysis, analysis of government collected data, development of strategies for local/state economic development. Opportunities exist at all levels of government: federal, state and local.

Academic Economist Responsibilities include teaching, research, and consulting. (Generally, a Ph. D. is required for positions at a university.) A degree in Economics is also very good preparation for other career objectives (Graduate degrees in Business [MBA], Law, Public Policy, Public Administration, and Economics). For example, Economics graduates score among the highest on the LSAT, which is required for admission to Law School.
