I've previously talked to Nets about some college advice, and was talking to Aekos along a similar vein lately. I'm currently a BS Economics major and I'm thinking that post-college I would like to work with FEMA in rebuilding after disasters. In terms of credits (ATM) I'm a junior, but really only because I have all of the General Ed and most of the electives done. What I'm not sure of is this: Should I go for grad work, or not, and if so, PhD or MS? But, what I'm really thinking about right now is if I should even be an Econ major, or a Math major (in a previous discussion with Nets he basically said don't even bother with undergrad econ, focus on math). The thing is, if I become a math major, I have to take more courses. This is really only a problem because I recently realized my education benefits are starting to run low.
Anyways, I would appreciate some input from some of the present and former econ students. To help I'm going to include the requirements for a BS Econ major, Econ minor, and Math major, and a course description list for Econ courses, Math courses, and Stats courses
Thanks folks.
