Which course has better career prospects among event management and economics?

Hi Himanshu, Well both streams are way different from each other hence it is unfair to compare both. However for your better unerstanding I will try my best to explain you the career prospects of both the courses thus enabling you to take an informed career choice: Economics: A graduate in Economics can aspires many entry-level jobs in banking, finance, insurance, stock markets, sales and marketing as well as corporations like consulting firms or government departments. They can also begin their career with government enterprises, public undertakings, investment firms, business journals and newspapers. The Indian Economics Services and Reserve Bank of India are also excellent options open to those who want to join government services. However, the more ambitious students of economics can go for MBA degrees offered by many institutions. As a general option to all social science students, economics student can opt for journalism, law etc to diversify their career opportunities. Those who have keen interest in higher studies and research can opt for M.Phil. and Ph.D. and thereby aspire to take higher position in public and private sector. They can also take up teaching as a career in various colleges, universities and professional institutions. Some others may choose to enter non-profit institutions like NGOs. Economic consulting is another option available for students from economic background. Event Management: Event management is a multifaceted activity. Major constituents of this profile include creativity, meticulous planning, relationship management, advertising and marketing and much more, all rolled into one seamlessly choreographed process. There are plenty of jobs in this industry. In spite of the current global economic slowdown, the event management industry has continued to grow in leaps and bounds. Talented youngsters who want to leave their mark in this industry have numerous avenues. You can join an event management company or a media house that specialises in event management activities. Once you have garnered ample experience you can either start working in the capacity of a freelancer or event set up your own events business. The pay packet in this industry varies according to your role and responsibility. It also depends on factors such as the organisation you are working with, the type of clientele your organisation is catering to, your experience, the city where the firm is located and so on. Hope this helps.
