What to do after an Econ BA?

<p>After graduate with an econ BA, what should I do? Because not many universities offer econ master also a MBA requires a 2 yrs working experience. So kind lost about the future~</p>

<p>I’m assuming you can’t find a job? That seems like the obvious answer…</p>

<p>Maybe if you can’t find a job contact one of your professors that liked you a lot and see if he can’t offer you a Research or Teaching Assistant position? I’ve known kids at my school who have wound up doing this for other majors, so that may be an option.</p>

<p>Get a job?</p>

<p>Ball til you fall.</p>

<p>BA in econ is good preparation for law school, financial and banking jobs, research jobs, and govt. jobs.</p>

<p>So why econ ba is a good prep for law school since they have no common?</p>

<p>You can major in anything and go to law school. All law schools care about is your GPA + LSAT score. If both of those are high you can get into some really good law schools as long as you don’t have any major blemishes on your record. </p>

<p>But anyways, the “I’m going to law school because I can’t find anything better to do and I want to wait for the economy to recover” is a VERY BAD line of thinking. A lot of law school students from even elite law schools are ending up unemployed or severely underemployed in today’s economy. And very often they are ending up with six figures of debt that they have no means to be able to pay off. </p>

<p>Only go to law school if you know EXACTLY what you want to do as a lawyer and have a passion for doing it/a good plan for how to get there. I reiterate, going to law school because you do not know what else to do, are unemployed, or want to make a lot of money are HORRIBLE reasons for deciding to go to law school. I’ve slowly discovered this myself…</p>

<p>I guess i may go for a master degree in finance which is related to economics.</p>

<p>Pretty sure good law school majors are engineering majors for patent law(not sure if BS is sufficient though), accounting is good for tax, accounting and finance are good for general business related law…other than that I don’t think anyone cares. Admissions committees don’t care at all as far as I can tell, though it might be easier to get a job with accounting/finance in related jobs and impossible to be a patent lawyer without a technical background.</p>

<p>I know quite a few schools who offer masters in economics.</p>
