[quote=Anonymous][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]

PP.  That bitter person is one of the only famous American female economists.  I found that blog entry cross-referenced in an article about Larry Summers and the Epstein fallout.  Larry Summers is one of the economists who belittled that woman.  OP is thinking about a Master's degree in Econ for a female student that didn't even like economics.  I think it's good to have eyes wide open on various professions. [/quote]

There is a huge difference between studying economics at the Master's level and going into a career in policy and what that poster is talking about which is really the world/domain of the 1% of economists.[/quote]
