x(

Nah, it's by choice. I'm going to spend the fall taking more Econ classes and doing an Independent study, so I get a really good self-directed research paper under my belt, before Grad school. In the Spring, hopefully an internship in Boston with the Dept of Labor, or one of the financial companies.

Yeah, I'm a masochist. :rofl:

1. No, happy face! Happy face!
You'll continue to boost your GPA, get some great electives that'll look good on grad school apps, etc. etc. :thumbsup:

2. Yeah, I was just kidding...
I'm pretty excited, no pressure, since all my "needed to graduate" stuff will be done this semester. I can pick the classes I want, do my IS on whatever I want, it'll be nice!!

Plus, all of my Profs and classmates want me to stick around for a bit :blush:

:loveya:

:hi: It can't hurt to have an extra semester of econ classes and some practical experience before applying to grad school.

Don't forget the public policy companies and institutes around Beantown when you search. Most of them count on abusing (cough) I mean hiring econ majors in transition to grad school.


on edit: my star took a powder too. I never can remember when it's up.

6. I'm actually thinking of Public Policy for Grad School...
:D

Either that or Political Economy. And I expect to be abused, doing lots of menial work. C'est la vie.

:hi:
