If you are interested in business, but have a propensity for communication, writing, an interest in research, and consider yourself a “people person,” then a career as a business journalist could be a smart move for you. With the new trend in growing small businesses and the growing involvement of individual investors, a demand has grown for insight and analysis into business growth trends.
With your degree in economics, your passion for writing and journalism, and your keen analytical mind, you could become a successful reporter for business newspapers, like the Wall Street Journal, or even an anchor person for a business television station, such as CNBC. Of course, you economic skills must be top-notch if you want to make it all the way, but that is a stricture that certainly applies to any business field.
