[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They'll need a PhD in Econ if they want to become an Economist.[/quote] Unless, like me, you go to a federal agency. The federal government hires Bachelor's level graduates and Master's graduates. I started as a GS-7 Economist with a BA. Many of the bachelor-level economists work on data analysis and tracking projects (Bureau of Labor Statistics and IRS Statistics of Income divisions are two that I recall). My position was a bit more creative and interesting than that. But those roles may be easier to get. I'm in F500 corporate America now. We have a business economics team. Master's is acceptable for positions with the economist title, although the Chief Economist is a PhD role. (I personally transitioned from economics into other areas through getting an MBA and have not held the economist title at this employer.)[/quote]
