I'm going to attend a 1year master's (btw, do American schools recognize 1 year master's?) at BGSE this year to hopefully launch me to a PhD program. But when I do PhD apps the year after the program is over, I'd like to have a job so I can pay back loans and just have something to do. This leads me to my question, Aside from investment banking what jobs can you get with a masters in economics? I see a lot of financial companies on the BGSE placement page, but what exactly do they do?
