Associate Degree in Economics

While you might need an advanced degree for some of the more high-powered economic jobs, an associate degree in economics can prepare you for several exciting careers. For example, tax collectors, examiners, and revenue agents--the government workers who keep revenue flowing in state, local, and federal government--typically focus on economics for career training.
Tax examiners review tax returns to ensure that all deductions and exemptions are filed legally and accurately. At the entry-level, tax examiners work on the simplest kinds of tax returns--typically, filings from individuals and small businesses. Revenue agents perform the same work as examiners; however, they work with more complex filings--reviewing income, sales, and excise tax returns of large corporations. Tax collectors are responsible for dealing with delinquent accounts. They review the work of examiners and work with citizens to collect taxes due and settle debts.
As part of your career training, an associate degree in economics may include coursework in elementary statistics, principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, banking, and business communications. Although an associate degree in economics often focuses on specialized coursework, you may also be required to take general education courses, including English composition, literature, and especially mathematics (e.g. applied calculus, elementary statistics).
