Where exactly can I work with my degree in economics? To help you with your career orientation, former economics graduates will be coming to your university for Career Tuesday “Career Prospects in Economics” to show you how they entered professional life after their studies, what challenges they overcame along the way, and what further career prospects opened up for them.
