Think economics is just for those who love maths and follow the traditional university route? It’s time to think again.

In this episode, we chat with Arywen Morris and Susannah East, two degree apprentices working in economics. They share their journeys, from overcoming a fear of maths to choosing apprenticeships over university, challenging common misconceptions and highlighting how economics can drive social change.

Arywen is a degree apprentice economist working on freight and motoring services policy for the UK government. Susannah works at the Offi ce for National Statistics, researching regional GDP and economic wellbeing. They both share insights into breaking into economics, why apprenticeships can be a game-changer, and how economics shapes the world.

Whether you’re a student curious about economics or a teacher looking for new career pathways for your students, this episode offers valuable insights.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Have we found the root cause of the gender gap in economics?
  • The two traits that matter more than any degree.
  • 3 compelling reasons to turn down top university offers in favour of an apprenticeship.
  • The unexpected school subject that’s perfect training for a career in economics.
  • How adding numbers to your arguments makes you instantly more persuasive.
  • How and why schools should introduce students to economics early.
  • The simplest way to explain economics to anyone.
  • One type of economist you should never trust.
  • How schools can use LinkedIn to help educate students.
