Graduate degree requirements?
To obtain an MA in Economics, is it necessary to have a Bachelor's in Economics? Or does your undergraduate work not have to match your graduate degree?

For economics you do not need to have an economics undergraduate degree. They will take just about any major.

You do not HAVE to have majored in a given field in order to apply for graduate study in it, but you should have taken enough courses to convince the admissions committee that you are prepared for advanced work. Fields that involve much quantitative work, such as Economics, would require that you have taken some pretty advanced undergraduate classes. For example, what courses in Econometrics have you taken? I took a sufficient number of courses in a couple of fields outside of my own major to have been a good candidate for an advanced degree in those fields had I wanted to pursue one, but I used up almost all of my undergraduate electives on them. There are some graduate programs for which you don't need to have majored in or even studied anything in particular. These include Law, Social Work, Business, Library Science, and Education.

depending on where you live, 45,000 to 52,000. That would be a GS-9, and includes the locality pay. Cali residents are closer to the fifty grand mark, down south is closer to the 45,000 mark, all other regions fall in between the ranges.

minimum wage
