<p>My apologies! I am sorry that, that did come off as rude and combative. </p>
<p>I cannot claim to be an expert on everything BYU, as I do not even attend yet. I have pretty much no knowledge about where BYU undergrads get hired/go if they don’t chose grad school. But, I do know that BYU has career and employment services to help people get recruited, as the links below can relay you to:</p>
<p>[Home</a> | University Career Services](<a href=“Home”>Home)</p>
<p>The engineering school has their own: [BYU</a> - Page Not Found](<a href=“http://www.et.byu.edu/jobs-internships]BYU”>http://www.et.byu.edu/jobs-internships)</p>
<p>There is a global-focus one: [Welcome</a>! | Global Career](<a href=“http://globalcareer.byu.edu/]Welcome”>http://globalcareer.byu.edu/)</p>
<p>And they have a Kronos web-portal system: <a href=“https://kronprod.byu.edu/wfc/applications/wtk/html/ess/logon.jsp[/url]”>https://kronprod.byu.edu/wfc/applications/wtk/html/ess/logon.jsp</a></p>
<p>and here is a general link to give confidence that your D. would be able to get some bang for your buck: [BYU</a> ranks 11th in eyes of recruiters, says The Wall Street Journal](<a href=“http://news.byu.edu/archive10-sep-recruiterranking.aspx]BYU”>http://news.byu.edu/archive10-sep-recruiterranking.aspx)</p>
<p>And back to econ, I don’t know how many people are hired necessarily as “economists” with just an undergrad, but I’m sure that the econ degree has many principles and knowledge in the discipline that provide the skills to become a myriad of positions/titles in the business world. </p>
<p>Companies: This is a list of all the companies that attended last year’s BYU career fair. I’m sure it’ll be similar when your D. goes there: [url=<a href=“http://www.experience.com/emp/cf_registered_employers?fhnd=4844]experience.com[/url”>http://www.experience.com/emp/cf_registered_employers?fhnd=4844]experience.com[/url</a>]</p>
<p>IR and econ: This is the quote from the IR site at BYU directly.
“Career Opportunities
This major gives students a strong liberal arts education along with useful technical skills. In addition to substantive knowledge, international relations majors will learn analytical concepts and ideas that allow them to organize, explain, and make sense of relations between states and comparisons among them. High proficiency in math and statistics, writing, and a foreign language will prepare for a wide variety of career pathsincluding, but not limited to, government, law, business, and international organizations. Many career paths will require graduate-level training. Therefore, the degree should be seen as certifying fluency in the ideas and methods of multiple fields so that students can find and pursue their own specialized interests rather than as a terminal degree.”</p>
<p>as for Econ, here’s what their site says for that:
Career Opportunities
Professional economists basically work in three fields. Some work in business, others in government, and some choose academic careers. The lifestyles of these groups vary greatly, making the decision of which career to adopt an important one.</p>
<p>Business economists forecast and analyze various aspects of the economy for their employers. They often work for banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and large manufacturing firms. The career of business economics is increasingly recognized as one of the routes to top management (National Association of Business Economists, 1989).</p>
<p>Government economists accumulate, interpret , and analyze national and international statistics in order to suggest proper policy. They work for agencies such as the State Department, the Treasury, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Department of Commerce. The jobs available in government are numerous and varied.</p>
<p>Academic economists teach and conduct research at colleges and universities around the world.</p>
<p>Students should refer to eRecruiting on the bar above to reference the Counseling and Career Center’s eRecruitment page and register to link to the myriad of employers who are searching for BYU graduates.</p>
<p>Hope that provides some of the info you were looking for! Sorry about that!</p>
