After obtaining a Ph.D. in economics at the London School of Economics (with a thesis on the Theories of Welfare Economics), he taught as an economics professor at the University of Rangoon, from 1945 to 1952.

1950

He was an economic adviser to the post-independent Burmese government's National Planning Department and the State Agricultural Bank's committee in the 1950s.
