There definitely is a demand for this, especially for those with field experience. One other option would be to become an independent consultant. Create your own firm specializing in this. You could end up becoming far more successful doing this on your own, or it could get your foot in the door. I have had many consultants (marketing, instructional design, etc) who end up being offered full time positions.
A consultant with a B.S. in Econ? If I may ask, how would I go about marketing myself? I am completely ignorant in this capacity (never took any business classes).
I am confident in my ability to produce forecasts and models along with economic advice but would companies listen to a B.S.?
