Thank you all for your thoughts, they all help to see the broader picture.

Relax dude lol

Thanks Jeffster for your thoughts. I was readin here and there that I don't really need that much of math skills to pass the Phd in Economics especially from a school that's not among the top 100! The offer specifically ask me to do phd in Economics, I talked about doing Phd in Business ( non-profit) but the answer was no. So, either I do it or I'm missing the chance. After reading more about Economics, it sounds interesting. However, I would not be able to spend more than 3 hours a day studying, I'm not sure if that's reasonable amount of time for a phd student in Economics.

Hello all, Reading through this forum, it seems that my overall education seems to be on the bottom of the ladder lol With Bachelor degree in Education, took Business Calculus and Calculus I though, and MBA, is it easy to successfully pass the Phd in economics? I have had GRE and scored 640 in the quantitive part and extremely low in the verbal due the fact English is my second language, not to mention not preparing well lol I spend about a month studying 2 hours daily! I'm not sure if that's enough .. The company I work with ( non-profit In Europe) wants me to get a Phd in Economics, and they will pay for it but I have to work for them anther 6 years which I would love to do. To be honest I just had one introductory Econ class, and not that interested in Econ, but I would not miss the chance of getting paid and studying for 4 years for free! I got accepted in a university that is NOT one of the top 100, or even 200 schools in the US!! but the faculty seems to be well educated. I'm ok mathematically but not as good as other phd students I guess. Also, I know myself, I would not studying as hard as them! I never study as so-called ( Nerd ), always skipped classes, not a book-type student! but I do always pass with As and Bs which fine with me. I know I should change my habits a bit during the Phd but I think I would not be able to lol I'll be working online at the same time during my phd, so I don't really have a lot of time to focus on studying. I would appreciate your thoughts about my case! should I do it, or shouldn't I? Do I really need Linear Algebra and Real analysis to that sort of schools, I'm talking not even ranked school. I'm taking micro and macro classes in small college here in Europe to know more before starting my Phd. I don't think I will take any Calculus or Linear algebra though!! Side note, is there a website that have all schools ranked? I might find my school Bestests
