<p>My stats currently:
Polisci degree 2009, summa cum laud, 3.85 GPA, department honors program, etc etc
no jobs
back to school in summer 2011 - since then I completed: Calc 1-3, linear algebra, Higher algebra, intro to macro/micro economics, and intermediate macro/micro economics, one other upper level econ (Labor Economics) course, total 15 econ credits. 1 intro accounting course. That could make a total of 18 'business' credits. Plus the 18 math credits already listed.
Current/Former school: Large public state university in NY
Current employment position: loan officer at a large credit union (looks good on paper but pretty low position).</p>

<p>My program is currently Economics but only because I am not sure if I will complete a 2nd bachelors, if I do decide to complete a 2nd BA/BS then I will likely switch it to mathematics and keep a minor in something 'applied' like econ or business or finance.</p>

<p>Questions: What EL positions would I be competitive for now at 25 yrs old given the above? Like say if I were to apply internally at my employer or elsewhere and choose a night MBA program or something. I would have to communicate my coursework/experience and not let them throw me in the reject pile based on my first degree area.</p>

<p>What grad programs could I consider? What business schools/programs could I be competitive for after 1 more completed semester, applying in spring? What about if I finished a 2nd BA/BS in math? Should I? My ideal is an analyst position (investment analyst, financial analyst, etc). However, I am considering doing actuary exams after I take some more probability. An assistantship would be required since I could not pay tuition without the aid, especially at a private college.</p>

<p>What would you do if you were me?</p>

<p>Why are you taking so many classes after having graduated in 2009? You have done 36 credits of econ and math since summer 2011, and still want to do another semester in Fall before actually applying to a degree granting ugrad/post-ugrad program in the Spring. You have taken/are taking a lot of credits since graduating in 2009, somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty with the upcoming Fall semester, which would nearly be enough credits to get you an mba if you were in an actual program. I would be concerned that you might be taking significant post-graduation coursework that won’t even help with whatever degree you finally decide on. Also, programs will want you to complete a minimum number of credits within their program, so you are risking retaking some of these same classes once you start a defined program, even if your credits transfer. I would consider consider getting into a degree granting program before taking any more classes on your own.</p>
