One masters degree or two?
I'm in a dual program for and MA in Economics and an MS in Finance. I've knocked out most of my classes for a solo MA degree and I've only take a couple electives towards the finance degree. I'm having second thoughts on the dual program now and wondering if I should just graduate in the spring with the MA Econ or push on till summer/fall for the dual. I know if I want to teach econ at the college level I need the PhD and neither degree really matters, but I don't know about the business world. Frankly I don't know much about finance careers at all. Is having the dual worth it? Does the business community look at a finance degree as someone too lazy to push into accounting, our are there vaild fields that want such talents? I know about stock brokers and bankers- is there anything else out there besides those? Are these jobs I can only get with a finance degree, or are they just as attainable with an Econ masters?

Since you probably have most of the credits needed..look at an MS in financial engineering...at my old school Baruch, they are starting at $130,000...............it is the HOT degree right now.and Wall St gives bonus....................... good luck

If you're within a semester or two of finishing the MS in finance, definitely push on through--a master's degree in finance opens up a lot of job opportunities that the MA in economics won't. And no, employers won't see you as too lazy to do accounting--finance is one of the most in-demand specialities in business right now. You might want to check out the Occupational Outlook Handbook online for information about jobs in finance.

Really you need to make up your mind about what you want to do once you have finished school. Do you want to teach? Then go for the PHD and begin doing work as a Teaching Assistant (T.A.) now. If you want to work in a bank or as a stock broker you should talk to someone who does that kind of work. They will be able to give you the best info as to what you should do education-wise right now. My opinion: either degree is just as well as the other; it really depends on what you want/like to do and how hard you are willing to work at acheiving your goals within that mileau.

I cannot speak specifically to your situation, but I know of one person who is taking a dual Masters, and going to take a dual PhD, in two different but supporting areas. Also planning on finishing his Teaching certificate between. It is hard to be too educated, and having a broad range of information available makes life more interesting to yourself at least, but also may help in future problem solving. I only have one batchelor's degree, but took a wide variety of courses, so I would be within a year each of 3 more degrees (one of them a Master's) and a certificate. I have never regretted taking so much education, as while it has not made me more money, it has helped me in all sorts of problem solving, as I know many approaches to many problems. And has made me more conscious of aesthetics, so I can enjoy more widely. And design aesthetically also, if the occasion arises. And helps me understand more aspects and interrelationships of the world we are obliged to live in. My recommendation is always get all the education you can in as broad a range of areas as you can, and I doubt you will ever regret it.

First, if you're contemplating working in academics then apply to a ph.d program. Don't bother getting another masters as it's going in the wrong direction. Finance has many areas of speciality. It has little to do with accounting too, they cover different aspects of a business. With an econ degree, you will probably be most interested and familiar with the investments aspect of finance. An MS finance program in such will focus on application of investment theory more so than the theoreticals.

Can someone please give me a list of AMERICAN JOB WEBSITES
Can someone please give me a list of AMERICAN JOB WEBSITES???
Hi Friends, I am currently a Londoner and I have just completed my MA. I really do not wish to be in London at the moment. I would like to go abroad for a short period of time to acquire some valuable work experience. I have been particularly thinking of the USA (New York, Miami) and Japan (Tokyo). My BA (hons) was in history whilst my MA has been in International Politics. Most of my work experience has been within banking and Finance. So I am actually considering a career in a wide variety of areas. I would be grateful if you can give me job websites, recruitment websites. I already know about www.monster.com. Any others???

No this isn't SPAM people,its actual earnings. CashCrate is a great site to make money on if you live in the USA (or Canada). I made $494+ in February. But it did take a bit of work initially--I added referrals--and the money got better. And I believe my earnings will continue to grow. I started by answering surveys on CashCrate and filling out some free offers and received a real check from them. For example, I signed up for E-bay and made a bid and got paid $8.00. And there are no fees to join. It is totally free. So I made a little my first month with them. http://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=134239 But once I found out this site was legit, I started adding referrals. For every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer to CashCrate, you get 10%. It may take some time to build up the number of referrals necessary to make a lot of money, but in time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you. And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you. Note: There are not many offers on this site for users outside of the USA (there quite a few offers for Canadian users though). But if you are in another country, you could still refer users from the USA to CashCrate and make money on those

Sen Obama wants the Government to take over more of the Economy: Is that a good idea
Sen Obama wants the Government to take over more of the Economy: Is that a good idea?
History of Economic disaster: Fannie Mae is a "Govt Sponsored entity"; they buy mortgages from Banks and other Companies and are backed by THE TAXPAYERS FOR ALL LOSSES, BUT THEY KEEP ALL PROFITS. 1998-2008: Banks forced to give bad loans, O down, no documentation for 120%, and ACORN is accountable, backed by Democrats. Executives at Fannie Mae receive huge bonuses if loan targets are met, so bad loans ar handed out like penny candy. Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick are appointed to run Fannie Mae. 2003 Mr. Bush proposes new oversights Committee to clean up Fannie Mae, but DEMOCRATS DERAIL IT. FRANKLIN RAINES GETS 100 MILLION DOLLARS IN BONUSES. JAMIE GORELICK GETS 75 MILLION DOLLARS IN BONUSES. 2001 Enron files for bankruptcy, congress investigates, executives Skilling and Lay go to jail for fraud. Congress responds with the Sorbanes-Oxley act "more regulations of corporations". 2004 An O.M.B. investigation finds massive fraudulant bookkeeping at Fannie Mae, under the care of GORELICK AND RAINES. CONGRESS RESPONSE: NOTHING -no hearings, no jailtime, no person punished, no bonuses paid back. > Fannie Mae give millions to democratic causes ACORN and RAINBOW. > Fannie Mae pays millions to 354 Congressmen and Senators from BOTH parties. WHO GOT THE MOST KICKBACKS? 1. Chris Dodd (D-CT) Chairman, Banking Houses & Urban Affairs. 2. Barack Obama (D-IL) Federal Financial Management Committee 3. Chuck Schuman (D-NY) Chairman, Finance Committee 4. Barney Frank (D-MA) Chairman, Hse Financial Services Committee 2005: Franklin Raines and top execs forced to resign from Fannie Mae. -no jail, no media reporting, keep all bonuses. RESPONSE FROM DEMOCRATS: SILENCE. RESPONSE FROM REPUBLICANS: Sen. John McCain makes this statement: "If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole". MCCAIN CALLS FOR: The Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act. THIS LEGISLATION WOULD HAVE PREVENTED WHAT WE SEE ON TV TODAY IN THIS ECONOMIC DISASTER THAT MCCAIN SAID WOULD SURELY HAPPEN. DEMOCRAT REPONSE: >None of the top 4 kickback receivers supported the legislation. >The legislation is quickly blocked and derailed immediately by democrats, never even making it out of the Committee. >Democrats are on Youtube video, yelling that nothing is wrong, there is no possibility of any economic crisis coming, and that the taxpayers were completely safe. Democrats insist that no oversight is necessary with regard to freddie mac and fannie mae. 2008 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac go bankrupt and the Government takes them over completely. Lehman goes Bankrupts from investing in the bad mortgages. AIG gets $85 Billion in loan guarantees after insuring thousands of bad mortgages. FRANKLIN RAINES IS NOW THE ECONOMIC ADVISOR TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN, AND HE WANTS: The Government to take over more of the economy. WE ARE IN THIS BAD SPOT BECAUSE GOVERNMENT INTERFERED WITH THE HOUSING MARKET IN THE FIRST PLACE, BY: forcing banks to give mortgages to people who simply could not afford to pay them. Government interference forcing agencies to loan money to people who could not afford to pay it back. HOW WOULD EVEN MORE Government interference make this better? IF THE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF THE BANKS AND LENDING INSTITUTIONS BUSINESS AND ALLOW THEM TO REQUIRE DOCUMENTATION, GOOD CREDIT, AND A MEANS TO PAY THE MORTGAGE, we would not be suffering this economic disaster we see today. Questions: 1/ Do you believe like Franklin Raines that Government interference in MORE CORPORATIONS AND BANKS would be good for this Country? 2/ Do you think that Franklin Raines being the executive who walked away with 100 billion dollars and a bankrupt Fannie Mae, is the right person to be Obama's Economic advisor and RUN THIS NATION? 3/ Do you know that it was Obama's baby, ACORN, who provided the strongarming that was done to force these banks into giving out mortgages to people who could not afford them? 4/ Do you know that when working on the economic bailout last week, that Obama and his Democrat partners tried to divert 20% of any money taxpayers would get back, over to ACORN instead?
