Hi Roger,
As an economics graduate, you have options e.g. in finance/banking, data science, government, politics, research, teaching or consulting. You could also use your degree as a basis to go into e.g. journalism, market research or law if you are so inclined. Typically, a masters degree is needed for entry-level roles as an economist. In some roles you will need a graduate degree.
Pay varies widely with the job role, and nobody can tell you what jobs will be available and what pay will be offered when YOU graduate. Currently, the median pay is somewhere between $100k-150k with top roles making >$200k.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
