Why get a degree from college when you don't even know what they are for? That just sounds like a waste.

If you don't know that, I'm surprised you went to a Top 20 school! Economist, financial analyst, etc.

Your degrees are not super technical so your career options are broad. Things that come to mind.... Economist, some type of banking (commercial, investment, commodities), sales, financial analysis, teacher, small business owner, management consulting, etc. The better colleges have really strong alumni networks. Be sure to check out your career development office and find alumni who are in fields that are of interest to you. They might be willing to talk to you and perhaps send you down the right path for your career. Good Luck.

Look on the Bureau of Labor and statistics website: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocoidf.htm#E you can search by subject. I recommend an MBA if your looking to go to into the private sector though

i wld try for a job in finance, research, consulting. you could do public finance, work for a bank or the federal reserve. you could work a think tank for policy research. do you have any internship experience? that will be very helpful. you can try teaching at almost any level even college as a lecturer.

You have lots of options. You could work for the World Bank. You could work on international trade agreements. You could support a business with global development or global commerce. But, you could also do something that's only tangentially related to your degrees - a role as a government Legislative Director or working for an international aid organization.
