Why get a degree from college when you don't even know what they are for? That just sounds like a waste.
2
If you don't know that, I'm surprised you went to a Top 20 school! Economist, financial analyst, etc.

Your degrees are not super technical so your career options are broad. Things that come to mind.... Economist, some type of banking (commercial, investment, commodities), sales, financial analysis, teacher, small business owner, management consulting, etc. The better colleges have really strong alumni networks. Be sure to check out your career development office and find alumni who are in fields that are of interest to you. They might be willing to talk to you and perhaps send you down the right path for your career. Good Luck.

Look on the Bureau of Labor and statistics website: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocoidf.htm#E you can search by subject. I recommend an MBA if your looking to go to into the private sector though

i wld try for a job in finance, research, consulting. you could do public finance, work for a bank or the federal reserve. you could work a think tank for policy research. do you have any internship experience? that will be very helpful. you can try teaching at almost any level even college as a lecturer.
6
You have lots of options. You could work for the World Bank. You could work on international trade agreements. You could support a business with global development or global commerce. But, you could also do something that's only tangentially related to your degrees - a role as a government Legislative Director or working for an international aid organization.

What can I do with an MA in Economics
What can I do with an MA in Economics?
I am thinking about either going into the financial sector or with a government, NGO or World Bank type group. Would an MA in Econ help me out? Even if it is from a top 20 school.

You should apply in banking sector.
2
Yes. If you go into the financial sector, pursue financial econometrics and the economics of financial markets. You'll need good stats and calculus knowledge, but it isn't too bad (love Mathematica, SPSS and Excel!) I would think that the NGO, Gov't (Public Policy) would require more policy analysis and macro/micro theory and application. I went the financial route myself.

Coaching may not be necessary. I presume that you have done BA (Economics) already. You can take help of friends occasionally. But your self study should be intensive. As for optional papers best is to take Econometric Methods and Acturial Economics, if you are strong in Statistics and Mathematics. If not, best is to choose Financial Institutions and Markets and Electronic Governance. These may not be very easy but interesting for a person doing selfstudy. Good luck.

What math courses will prepare me to do very well in a MA in economics program? What classes will put me ahead
What math courses will prepare me to do very well in a MA in economics program? What classes will put me ahead?
I want to be fully prepared to get A's in my classes in a masters program in Economics. Any suggestions or advice? What classes should I have and what classes do I need to be well ahead of my classmates?

I would say statistics classes and make sure you know your basic calculus. At ASU I know for an undergrad in Economics, you are required to take statistics, brief calculus, and math for business analysis. I took Calc 1 and 2 instead, so MAT 270 and 271, but they differ at other colleges. For master's programs if your college does require you to take any more math, it will be during the program, but for entering you should be fine with the classes I listed above.
