[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she doesn't like economics she will be miserable.

A good master's in econ program will be highly mathematical.

I think terminal master's in economics are not as common as PhD track.

Does your DD have a policy interests suitable for exploring in graduate school?

You both should also read this 2020 blog post by a professional economist.

She could take math and advanced econ classes in community college while working after college.

The blogger above was a very bitter person, economist or not.[/quote]

It sounds like her math foundation was good. She might find the intermediate econ sequence more interesting than the intro sequence (with minimal math). In most top colleges, there’s a more mathy intermediate sequence (which should be a better fit for her) in addition to the standard sequence. She could take multivar calc and linear alg again to refresh her math, plus stat and econometrics. Since she’s not planning to do a Ph.D., there’s no need to go beyond that. [/quote]
