Help me, Im Looking at law schools?
When I graduate, I will have a BA in Political Science, which may not seem much, but it is a step closer to what I want to do with my life. I would like to go to law school, and also have a joint-degree, so I can have something to fall back on. I would like to practice corporate, health, environmental, or human rights law one day. Or get a job in Homeland Security But, I want to live on a reasonable salary (80k+), so I thought about getting another degree with my Juris Doctor. What will help me ring in the most money? I would like to go into Politics later, and become a mayor or state legislator. I would like to begin work in Homeland Security, Healthcare, Environment or Human Rights. A JD with.... MA in Political Science MA in Economics MA in Philosophy MA in Humanities MBA (Masters of Business Administration) MPP (Masters of Public Policy) MPA (Masters of Public Administration) MPH (Masters of Public Health) PhD (Philosophy, Political Science, Economics) MD (Doctor of Medicine) MEM (Master of Environmental Management) MRP (Master of Regional Planning) Master Of Arts In Arab Studies Master of Health Administration

Well I will give you atta boys for having the vision to acquire more than one skill set in case the main one does not pan out down the road. I originally went into engineering but once out of school acquired the skills for real estate, construction/development, and finance. I now work in finance only. I would choose an MBA with the law degree. I would also master another avenue for income once out of school. You always want to have three streams of revenue if possible(two active) and one passive stream.

How do I get into a top 20 PHD program for Economics
How do I get into a top 20 PHD program for Economics?
If I get a masters at a reputable state university school, and do very well, could I get into a top 20 program? I am using a MA as a stepping stone for a PHD because my undergraduate grades were not great. Any suggestions would be very appreciative! I am very motivated and want to know wat it will take in my position. Thanks!

Yes, getting good grades in a masters will help. However, the big factor will be your research performance as a masters student. You will want to impress professors (and most importantly, your advisor) with your motivation, curiosity, and problem selection skills so that they will write letters that say they thing you would make a top-notch PhD student. Ideally you should aim to get a publication, maybe present some posters and give short talks. You want to act as much like a PhD student as possible so that they will realize that you would make a good PhD student at their school.

What will matter more is your internships. One guy can have a B.S in Economics at Penn and another at Penn State, one may have gone through college without doing an internship during a summer, and the other may have done an internship with the Department of Commerce or Goldman Sachs. The internship will matter much more than which college you go to.

Really, every college and university in the US offers economics. As for the social side, that would mean you want a BA, not a BS in economics. My daughter got her BA in economics at Chatham University, a very nice school in Pittsburgh. www.chatham.edu) She starts her PhD this fall and is on her way to becoming a policy maker in the US government.

It is hard to find an undergraduate ranking for this field. The top graduate programs would of course be good for undergraduate rankings because they are prestigious schools. If you went to a tier II, III, or IV school you could possibly get a better education, but would have to get better grades to get into a top notch graduate program if you care about that. In all reality a middle of the road school can be better for undergraduates b/c they are focused on teaching instead of research. My friend at a relatively high ranked school is taught almost exclusively by people w/ masters degrees and assistants to the professors because the professors are more interested in their research. I've also heard that they are not too interested when they have to go instruct class for the same reason. My school is lower ranked, but I have never had an economics class taught by anything other than a Phd with extensive experience, including a Nobel Prize winner. I think all the states you listed are most likely going to be expensive to attend. Both tuition and living expenses could be high. You might qualify for grants though. For the social side of economics--of which there is such a thing despite the idiot's comment as economics is a SOCIAL SCIENCE--you can look for a place with developmental economics or poverty economics. These probably wouldn't really be available to undergrads though.
