Re: PhD or JD? Masters?
Within certain programs, like math and economics you do not need to earn a master's degree first, in fact there are very few masters programs that are not applied economics or similar in that field.
The JD degree was just a thought I guess. Most likely I won't go down that path.
I am fully aware of the requirements to become an actuary and the difficulties in the rigor of the exams. The masters degree is for my own personal goals, I also enjoy numbers and applying them to real world situations. That is why I was thinking either financial mathematics or economics.
I would like to complete my degree before entering the working world which is why I want to focus on that now, rather than working a bit, trying to obtain my MBA down the road once I've been working for a few years. Although that route would be nice because some employers pay some towards an MBA.
I currently do not have my masters but I am majoring in mathematics, statistics, and mathematical economics at SCSU. I have 3 semesters left before I graduate. Just for a little background.
