Hi there,
I have been trolling these forums for some time and you guys seem like geniuses so I have a question to pose:
What do you think would offer better return, a 1-yr BS econ. program @ out-of-state tuition, from the University of Iowa a 2-yr MS applied probability and stats. program @ in-state tuition, from Northern Illinois a 2-yr MS comp. science program @ in-state tuition, from Northern Illinois
The MS programs are "2-years" defined because I need to take deficiencies. My undergrad major was in Anthropology and, well I realized a while ago, but I now realize that it is insanely unemployable to do anything of interesting value in the world...
Any opinion helps...I could apply to other places after taking the 1-year of deficiency courses (most math-based stuff...comp sci. only requires 2-3 deficiency courses...)
I guess the essence is what do you think has a better payout: a BS in econ or an MS in Applied Stats/ Comp Sci. --I guess the prestige of the programs matter to.
Anyways, any opinions help.
Thanks in advance.
