<p>As a note, this post may contain points and questions not necessarily about grad school.. but here goes.</p>
<p>I'm currently a freshman in university right now, intending to get a BA in Economics. I've thought about the long term and what I want to do, though things still feel uncertain. One possibility is graduate school. But with an economics degree, I don't know what I can exactly go into or do.</p>
<p>I've done a bit of research on graduate school for economics, and understand that advanced math in subjects such as linear algebra and multivariable calculus are basically minimum requirements for decent graduate programs. </p>
<p>But I don't know if I'm up for it, or if I have enough skills and ability in math to do well. What other options are there for one with an undergraduate economics degree without a very strong math background (essentially more "liberal arts" like)? Is some advanced math generally necessary for most graduate programs? </p>
<p>The reason why I'm inquiring about graduate school is that I'm not sure about what options are out there for me. I've had an attraction to government work and international issues, perhaps in economic development or policy. But what paths are available with a degree only at the undergraduate level versus an advanced degree?</p>
