Intresting to actually realise that there are so many private sectors offering economics students from their second year intenships. Career path of an economic graduate is really challenging but given this information, the advantages and disadvantages I have confidence and hope that somewhere there is a job for me. Thank you very much

In relation with the above article with job opportunities for students who are studying economics. I am currently a First year student and i am currently pursuing Bcom Accounting sciences which typically leads to becoming a Chartered Accountant, although i am very passionate about accounting and i thoroughly enjoy the challenge, i also have found an interest in Economics and would like to double major in my second year. Would this be a waste of time or worthwhile to me? I also have just recently signed with PwC my training contract which i would pursue in order to qualify as a CA. I want to also broaden my horizon and my main goal is to work for the IMF or The World bank. Could me double majoring in Accounting Science and Economics give me an advantage when it comes to employment?

Hi, thank you very much for this informative blog.
I am a first-year student studying Bcom financial sciences and until i read this blog, I always thought that my career path was set to be in the accounting industry. I’m enlightened and encouraged to search for more opportunities.
