My profession is an economist”

Knowledge that a future economist should have.
It should be noted here, as J. Keynes: “The subject is easy, but those who succeed in it are few. The paradox is the fact that an economist must have a rare combination of talents: He must be a mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher. "
What should an economist know?
1. First, he must receive fundamental economic training.
2. Have the necessary knowledge for the position for which you are applying (for example, the basics of accounting, history, political science, management, etc.).
3. In fact, 2/3 of the companies conduct foreign economic activities and they need specialists with knowledge of a foreign language. Thus, knowledge of a foreign language is a mandatory requirement for a specialist in the field of economics, and at least this knowledge is desirable when applying for a job. In any case, proficiency in foreign languages not interfere with the specialist and this will increase employment opportunities.
4. The economist has to deal with a lot of information. And, therefore, you just need to have good computer skills, and, what is especially important, knowledge of special programs (accounting, economic analysis, etc.), in addition to this, you need to have a high printing speed in order to quickly process information.
