Davidson Global & Co., 2025

To succeed in today's job market, economics graduates must think beyond traditional career paths in finance or academia. The core value of an economics degree isn't the degree itself, but rather the versatile analytical toolbox it provides. This includes essential skills like critical thinking, cost-benefit analysis, and the ability to build models—abilities that are highly transferable to diverse fields such as supply chain management, journalism, and tech. The key is to reframe your personal story from being "just an economics major" to being a proven problem-solver with a solid set of skills. To effectively market these skills, graduates must create a strong personal brand. This involves building a digital portfolio that provides tangible evidence of your abilities, such as case studies or data visualizations, rather than just listing courses on a résumé. Furthermore, adopting a non-traditional job hunt is crucial. This means networking strategically, thinking like a recruiter to spot hidden opportunities, and seeking out roles that may not have "economist" in the title but still require your unique skills. Career longevity in a volatile economy depends on agility. I strongly recommend treating your professional life as a portfolio of skills and income sources, much like an investment portfolio. This can include consulting, freelance work, or even passion projects. By continuously refining your skills, purposefully networking, and staying aware of emerging trends, you can build a resilient and rewarding career that adapts to change and thrives on uncertainty.
