[quote=Anonymous]PP.  I was an economics major who came late to the major and I felt I needed more quantitative economics after graduation.

I ended up taking 6 college credits of Econometrics from a DC institution.  That's the type of course I would recommend.  (That school has repositioned and doesn't offer that anymore or I would recommend it.  Because it was adequate and affordable, with an official transcript.)

If your kid wants to review AP Micro and Macro, here's a cheap way to brush up.

If you are in Maryland, see what's possible at College Park.

I wouldn't recommend going straight into a Master's degree program.  I think it's better to try various low paying jobs in DC and see what sparks intellectually.  That's kind of how it's done in DC.  Like starting in the mailroom...

Also to keep in mind, when the next Democratic administration comes in, there may be a rebuilding of the federal government.  I worked in a policy directorate in a Cabinet agency long ago.  It was a good job in the elder Bush and Clinton administrations.  There were BA Policy Analysts and Regulatory Affairs Analysts in that group.[/quote]
