Economic career! advice??..living in the UAE

Economic career! advice??..living in the UAE?
I have moved to the UAE from the UK and i am due to start uni next semester however i am having difficulty in deciding what to study. I would like to study Economics and then do further education (MSc, MBA..) probably in the UK but there are a few questions i need help with: 1) Will an economic degree provide me with job opportunities in the UAE or will a degree in Business Admin or Accountancy be more promising? 2) Would it be more useful to do a Masters in Economics or Finance or Political Science or an MBA in Business Admin?? I just need some advice. I know my question isnt very clear but im just curious as to which field will provide me with the best job opportunities and career prospects? Also what kind of jobs would some of the degrees provide me with? Anyone with any similar experience will be greatly appreciated! Thank you soo much in advance :)

Considering the growth and Development plans of the UAE, you would benefit greatly in job opportunities there. As you probably are aware of, the UAE is attracting businesses and seasonal residents at a large and fast rate. As to your question, I would suggest pursuing your education in the lines of Business Admin, and financing/accountancy. As the UAE moves forward with its plan to make the UAE more attractive to large businesses, those businesses that relocate offices and corporate offices to the UAE will need to hire appropriate personnel for the UAE offices. You should have a high advantage by already living in the UAE plus your educational degrees. If for whatever reason business isn't your thing, you could be quit successful in real estate. The population growth in the UAE is expanding like a belt over the holidays seasons. Good Luck

Firstly, you might want to evaluate which career path you would like to follow. For both questions 1 and 2, an economics degree would be more useful if you plan on becoming a Chartered Accountant; while an undergrad business degree would be more useful if you plan to an MBA later on. Both offer excellent career opportunities in the Middle East, and particularly in a city like Dubai.
