So much. The world is your oyster, especially with an Econ degree. Nothing is out of bounds dude. And much better off than a biz major!

I have an Econ degree and support government contracts as a financial analyst! I also had job offers for jobs in different fields so there are definitely many opportunities!

With an Econ degree you can enter AML/ governance and risk space and/or government. Your skills are fresh on your mind so that's exactly what's needed in this time period. Mix in knowledge of new technology (project management, visual data, fintech, etc) with foreign language skills and you have the leg up.

Government jobs at the state level are pretty easy to come by. Have you searched there?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
