Hi, maybe this isn’t the typical type of post for this sub, but I plan to do a one year masters program next year and then start working.
I am interested in working in natural resource economics/ environmental economics but my program is very general and only offers one elective on the topic. I would have done a natural resource economics program but I received good funding from this program and it’s a good program (also, if it turns out I don’t want to pursue this career, this program is a bit more general)
Is this an issue? Will I have to take additional classes or something in order to pursue this career or will a “generic” applied Econ masters program that focuses a lot on econometrics as well as theory set me up well to be competitive for government jobs in this field?
Masters in Applied Economics – too general?
