well I am interested in the economics of education and education policies but I am not too sure if this is what I wanna do for the rest of my life. so Columbia is the only school I applied specifically for Economics and Education. Since I could not really work in public sectors in the States, I am thinking about jobs in research institutions (do I need to do PhD for this?), think tank or international organizations Xxxx

Hi all, Chicago MPP 2 year Columbia Econ&Educ 1 year FA17k Cambridge Mphil in Economics Queens College 1 year My plan is to pursue a phd degree or find a job in the States after I finish the MA degree. I am kinda interested in both policies and economics so I am wondering in terms of competitiveness, placement ratio and program reputation, which one would be a better option? The columbia's program is 1 year course, as an international student, I am kinda worried it would not allow me enough time to find jobs or apply for phds... it would be great to hear advice from you all!

I have some offers I need to reply by mid April and would love some advice from you all. I am currently a Chinese student studying Economics and Management in the UK. I plan to pursue a master degree to allow me find jobs or continue a phd degree in the States.
