economics & the corporate world (1 Viewer)

[bhsrepresent]

If you have a keen passion for economics are you likely to be putting your TRUE skills to the test/ being genuinely stimulated by your work, or will you find yourself under-utilised in terms of the capacity you do have? I've read there's a real culture of underachievement in the corporate world, i.e. doing things the way they are done as opposed to listening to the new grad who thinks they have better ways to do things.

In other words, apart from academia or writing, is there any job you can take which will genuinely complement your passion for economics and drive you to become more engaged with the theory and your job itself?

I'm sure the RBA has enough economics stimulation for whatever your itch might be for economics. They have various jobs for honour students in Economics.

economics consulting applies microeconomic principles to client needs. Firms include NERA and frontier economics. They are hard to get into but not as hard as the MBB as far as consulting goes

I would imagine that the guy who did the MBA should be titillating to every word spoken by the new grad that just finished...

Perhaps it would be wiser to go in with an open mind, listen, understand how their business operates and know the rules of the game and then bust yo cap in their ass with your knowledge

As mentioned RBA/consulting would allow interesting and varied economic work. Also consider government work surrounding budgetary policy as well as other bodies such as the ACCC. If none of that is what you're interested in economic journalism would surely allow for a variety of work?
