1. Economics for Management Studies University of Toronto at Scarborough, Scarborough, OntarioEconomics studies how consumers and producers interact in a market economy to provide goods and services. Economics also studies how this process grows and changes over time, and under what circumstances it may fail to function in an optimal fashion. Economic policies to remedy those failures are also examined.
   
   In the Department of Management, the study of economics is oriented primarily to the needs of students interested in management studies. Thus, many of our examples will focus on the ways in which firms and consumers in market economies interact. However, students interested in the wide variety of problems considered by economists will find those matters are also addressed in our courses.
   
   The curriculum provides an excellent background for careers in business, government, and the professions, and may be of considerable interest to students specializing in other disciplines as well. Students may focus their study of economics in the Specialist Program in Economics for Management Studies (with a co-op option) as part of the B.B.A., or may either major or minor in economics as part of the B.A. degree. Finally, economics plays a significant role within the various programs leading to the B.B.A. Program.
   
   The Specialist Co-operative program in Economics for Management Studies (B.B.A.) is a work-study program which combines academic studies in economics and management with work experience in public and private enterprises. This degree is designed to allow students to learn practical skills of data analysis and to combine them with the interpretive skills given by knowledge of economic theory.
2. Human Resource and Industrial Relations University of Toronto at Mississauga, Mississauga, OntarioThe Human Resources and Industrial Relations program is designed to prepare students for careers in either human resource management or labour relations. The program also provides a foundation for completion of the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation offered by the Human Resources Professionals Association, and for further study in the area, such as the Master of Industrial Relations and Human Resources degree offered at the St. George campus. The need for professional training in the field has grown over time as the employment relationship has increased in complexity due to factors such as the increasing diversity of the labour force and new legislative initiatives in employment and human rights. The broad based study of the employment relationship provided in the Human Resources and Industrial Relations program prepares students for professional careers by providing a theoretical framework, analytical and quantitative skills, and a thorough knowledge of current developments in the field. Students are able to undertake a multi-disciplinary study of the employment relationship, examining it from the perspectives of Economics, History, Sociology and Organizational Theory. This training is intended to provide the basis for life long learning about emerging issues in the field of employment.

I found the results of this report interesting. Although I had previously thought about a career in some of these fields, the report provided much more detailed findings than I had previously thought about. It told me about field like "human resources" which i had not even heard of. It gave me an interesting perspective on what I might want to become, and showed me that there is huge variety of jobs out there.
