Economist
Economists are graduates of the relevant Faculties of Economics. Graduates sign up at the
Economic Chamber of Greece and have the occupational right to work both as economists
and as accountants, as well. An economist can work in the private and in the public sec-
tor. To be more specific, an economist has the opportunity to work in banks, in companies
and businesses, in research etc. The occupational prospects of economists are extremely
positive in the Greek labor market, mostly due to the demands of businesses for economic
services.

Sales Manager
Sales managers are not graduates of a certain Faculty. This occupation is not based on
specific studies, but on personal interests and capabilities in the field of sales. Usually, sales
managers have studied economics or have got economic knowledge. The occupational
prospects of sales managers are extremely positive in the Greek labor market and there is
an enormous demand for this occupation.
As a final comment, we must say that all the Military Schools and the Police Academy are
very popular amongst Greek students, since they assure a certain job place. In Greece,
a great amount of students (and their parents as well) have the great wish to work in the
public sector, where there is a steady salary and a specific time shift (the so called “Greek
Dream”).
