Contrary to what many people think, there is life beyond the financial market for an Economics professional. You can work in education, marketing, technology, human resources, public policies, or in the financial department of a company, for example.

The important thing is to have a solid theoretical and analytical foundation to assist individuals, organizations, and society in optimizing the use of resources in the pursuit of specific goals. Economists need to develop the ability to formulate and test hypotheses based on data, understanding cause-and-effect relationships.
