I'm graduating in Fall 2012 with a B.A. in Economics. At the moment, I have a tentative Peace Corps assignment in early 2013 as my Plan A. Additionally, I am looking into doing a Post-Bacc Computer Science Program online in order to be a more competitve candidate as far as gpa is concerned. However, that post-bacc program is online so rec letters will probably be less personal. Eventually, I would like to pursue M.A./M.S. in Environmental Economics somewhere down the line. After taking years off from school, how do people approach the recommendation letter requirements?
I know I want to go to grad school after a two-three year break. Should I get recommendation letters while I'm still in undergrad?
