What Jobs Can Economy Graduates Gain?

There has been a great deal of speculation surrounding the skills of economy graduates but what exactly can you gain with this degree?

Well the course is a popular one because it is known to offer some students exceptional job prospects and some of the highest earnings and that’s mainly because the jobs relate to businesses, banks and accountancy. Of course there success stories tend to come from some of the leading universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, and not every graduate is guaranteed a nice comfortable earning.

If you posses the right skills for the job you’re applying for then you will stand a good chance of getting it, but with economy courses being scrutinized left right and center, times may be a little bit tougher for the next crop of graduates.

Are economics Courses set to be reshaped?

Various students from 19 different countries are joining forces to change the way Economy courses are structured. They’re arguing that many of the courses only focus on narrow free-market theories, meaning students may come away lacking the ability to confront challenges that may await them in their careers.

Financial stability is always on the top of every governments’ agenda and if the current crop of students are finding it difficult to face the everyday challenges they’re supposed to have trained for, then a reshape may be a good way to go about it. The International Student Initiative for Pluralist Economics (ISIPE) agrees entirely, and they say that these courses are failing wider society when they ignore important evidence and information from various other industries.

Only time will tell whether this stand picks up some speed and really has an effect on the overall structure of these courses, but economy has and will always be a tremendously important part of society, and more diversity and ideas from other industries could be extremely beneficial.

Planning your Retirement Income

Life is completely different when you retire, and you look at every aspect in different ways but one of the hardest things to adapt to is the new level of income, which is likely to be significantly lower than what you may have earned in your working days.

Every year thousands of people hang up their hats, but before you do it can be beneficial to start planning what you’re going to do with that income. Ask yourself whether it will last and whether it will be enough to ensure you do all things you’ve planned to do when you retire.

It can be relatively easy to find yourself with a much lighter account and a pension is what you will completely retire on, while it can be beneficial to not take any risks when investing. The market crash in 2008 punished many retired investors who were taking risky moves in order to earn more income.

This is big news and it may be quite worrying for the likes of David Cameron, Ed Milliband and Nick Clegg. Nigel Farage has really picked up a large following since he became leader of the UK Independence Party, and he’s told the world of politics to expect an ‘earthquake’ in the European elections.
He has shown he can debate and many people would agree he came out on top recently in his European  election debate with Nick Clegg, and we may soon him take on the likes of Milliband and Cameron.
