I am in second year studying Economics and am looking into options for when I graduate. The typical roles for Economics tend to be in banking, finance and consulting. However, I think that I could develop a better career and be far happier in the tech industry. I am not that interested in going down a super technical route involving software development so this post is me trying to work out what other options are available.
So far I have really enjoyed microeconomics, marketing, environmental economics, finance (I like the concepts, not the idea of the finance industry), statistics, data science and policy issues. I know this is quite broad, but this is why I am trying to explore different options.
I would be very interested in hearing peoples experiences, and seeing what roles are out there for a non-technical role at large, medium and start-up companies.
What are my options?

Thank you for your comments so far. I may have been misunderstood but I am not interested in a Computer Science based role. I am thinking more along the lines of marketing, analytics, sales, business development, corporate finance etc. or other roles that I may not have heard of.
