[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a senior in college, political science major, and is looking for jobs in policy, think tanks, so on. She has repeatedly hit a barrier in her job search that she has no economics background. I’m confident she’ll figure out some kind of post graduation job, but to move ahead in her career, I suspect she’ll need background that she doesn’t have.

Is it a reasonable goal to get a masters in economics for someone with no university level economics/math background? I guess I have always envisioned persons seeking that masters to have an undergrad degree or at least exposure in economics, math, business, that sort of study. [/quote]

well does she even like econ?

if so, why are you asking here? go look at the entry requirements for econ grad programs, or better yet, she should be looking at this age, not you.

if she doesn't have what they want, she can work for a year and take them in the evening. a friend of mine did this for med school requs so i don't see why that can't be done for this too.[/quote]
