don't ask us, take a while and really think about which would make you happy. i mean you've got a great degree either way, but think about if you'd still see yourself in that field five years from now.

The top MBA programs want you to have four or five years of work experience. A degree from one of these schools will pay off much more than an MA in Economics. Any MBA program that will take you with no work experience or after two years probably isn't worth it. The advantage to an MA in economics is that you could do it right away. The unfortunate reality, though, is that all the really good graduate programs in economics don't take terminal master's students. That means you would have to settle for a mediocre MA program if you don't want a PhD. As an alternative, you could look at Masters in Financial Engineering courses -- or an MS in Mathematical Finance.

A job at any level of government such as a policy analyst, business analyst, program administrator, researcher, etc etc. If you have done some IT subjects a career as a systems analyst is also a possibility, especially with a government agency. Thanks Bill

You don't have to work for the government just because you have an MA in Government. You could be a financial analyst, consultant, legal assistant, almost anything. Try going to a job fair and you will see that there are a lot of jobs you are qualified for.

Should I study an MBA or MA in Economics
Should I study an MBA or MA in Economics?
Hello Yahoo Community, I am an undergraduate student at Miami University in the Farmer School of Business. I am currently majoring in Business Economics, which will allow me to graduate with a B.S. in Business, and my concentration would be Economics. My question to you is about what Masters degree I should pursue. I could do two things: Earn an MBA or Earn an MA in Economics Which would be better for me? I would like to work in the banking industry or some other private corporation. The possibility of working for the government is also open, but I would rather work in the private sector. What are the advantages/disadvantages to each? Thank you.

Unless your goal is to be some type of economist I would suggest you go for your MBA in Finance instead. A different specialty/area of expertise (like finance) will likely make you more marketable especially in the industries you listed. Good luck!

Hi, After reading your career goals, it sounds like an MBA may be a better pursuit. Generally it is given larger weight for individuals looking to pursue a career in banking. I hope this was of help. Conrad http://www.stacyblackman.com

By accounting, do you mean bookkeeping? Take a class at a community college. Sign up at temp agencies.

I assume that you are looking for a fulfilling career that pays well. If so you want to obtain a CPA and either work for, or start, a CPA firm or shoot for CFO in the corporate world. The first step is to check and see if you have the right kind of academic credits to sit for the CPA exam. If you do, apply with the national, regional, and local CPA firms. If you don't, sign up and then apply to the CPA firms. The reason for starting with a CPA firm is to get a good nuts and bolts level understanding of the audit process and to get an insight into the type of corporation you might wish to work for if you don't stay with the CPA firm. Hope this helps Jerry-the-bookkeeper
