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 :)

Basically,an MBA would be a good option. In order to inform yourself about prospective Jobs, you can browse these job related websites : www.bayt.com www.jobsindubai.com http://www.monstergulf.com/

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT think of jobs at this stage. Choose a career instead. Let us examine the options 1. Bachelors in Business Administration + MBA. You would end up being a Line Manager during mid-career with lots of responsibilities and stress. Long working hours needing good leadership skills to motivate a team and meet targets. Wide Industry options 2. Bachelors and Masters in Economics More of a back-office opportunity. Business analysis, Internal audit options. Less stress requiring more analytical skills rather than supervisory and motivational. One needs to be meticulous and pay attention to detail. Career could be less glamourous. Try and see what suits your personality. All the best. If you are sincere you will always find employment

1) a BA or Accountancy would give you a broader range of options. 2) Depends on your interests. I would rank an MBA as being the most useful, followed by a Masters in Finance, then Economics. The latter start getting specialised and reduce your options -- if you end up not liking the field, you don't have much else you can do. I don't think a Masters in Pol Sci is of much use.
