Economics today tackles a broad range of problems.

A first degree in economics (especially from LUMS) provides an excellent preparation for a range of careers. You can pursue careers in the financial sector, for example in banking and financial services, analytical and trading fields, advising on mergers and acquisitions, or choose to join international organisations; to become professional accountants and auditors, or to take up positions as economic or management consultants. You may also choose to go on to graduate study, not only in economics but also in finance, management, development and other fields.

IT WON'T BE A VERY WISE CHOICE.. mostly Bsc ECONOMICS I HAVE SEEN works as school teachers, especially if you do it from Uni of Karachi or falls in similar disastrous.But from LUMS or a foreign uni, you can go for civil services(local uni) and for multinationals for management posts.

I see. I didn't get when you mentioned about auditing and accountants. Those are completely different fields from Economics, right? And moreover, that's just undergraduation plan. What I'm planning to aim at is MBA after BSc in Economics provided that both are to be done by either foreign or reputable institutes like IBA or LUMS.

Yes, I know that. :)
Of course I don't want to work as a teacher when considering about my career.

You can top up with an accountancy degree and blend up your skills. Solely an Economics degree wont benefit you if you only study from Pakistan until and unless you top up a degree with it or go to West for a Masters in Economics, or prepare yourself for a career in teaching. I am afraid that this course that this has had been the case for 60% of Pakistanis.

For instance: Anam Sami in UAE did BA Economics from Manchester University and then did CFA and ACCA in UAE and has recently scored top in the world in ACCA F4 and F8 Exams.

it is a awesome program :) but it would cost you 4 years instead of 3 if u do bachlors from foreign university. i would recommend you to do economics with finance from university of london (distance learning same fees as iba/takes 3 years) but it depends if you love maths more than account or vice versa
