created: 25th Sep 2024 Last Modified: 25th Sep 2024Feeling frustrated after a job search is completely understandable, but there are several promising career paths you can explore with your background in economics and your upcoming MA completion. Here are some options:
Specializations in Economics: Consider focusing on areas such as data analysis, financial economics, or economic policy research. These fields offer opportunities in consulting firms, government sectors, and financial institutions. Data analytics is particularly valuable, and you can enhance your skills with short courses in data analysis, programming (Python, R), and statistical tools like Excel, SPSS, and Stata.
Skill Development and Certifications: Building additional skills can make you more competitive. Look into certifications in financial modeling, business analytics, or project management through platforms like Coursera or edX. LPU may also offer online programs to help you upskill.
Practical Experience: Gaining practical experience is crucial. Consider internships or short-term roles with research institutions, banks, NGOs, or government bodies to gain industry exposure and build your network. LPU’s strong internship and placement support can assist you in finding opportunities in finance, marketing, or public policy.
Government Jobs: Explore government positions by preparing for exams like UPSC, SSC, or RBI Grade B, as these often favor candidates with an economics background and offer stability.
Academic Opportunities: With your MA in Economics, you could consider teaching at schools or colleges, or offer private or online tutoring. Pursuing a PhD may also open doors to research or teaching roles at universities.
Networking and Job Searching: Focus on building connections through LinkedIn, attending industry events, and utilizing job portals like LinkedIn, Naukri, and government websites to uncover new opportunities.
