Hello Liana\n\n\nHere is what you can do.\n\n1) Check state laws to see how where you live governs where,when,how and what you can work at.\n\n1) Use the 5 w's and the H.\nWho\nWhat\nWhere\nWhen\nWhy\nHow.\nTo answer what you want to do.\nook\n2) When you have decided on what - look at doing a CBA\nCost Benenfit Analysis - does it make sense to do what you are going to do? Can you reach your goal? \n\n3) Once you have answered "YES!" then do a SWOT analysis -\nStrenghts, Weaknesses,Opportunities and Threats. \nFor example for grass cutting a threat would be either a drought or a flood - both affect the rate at which grass grows and if you need to work.\n\nOnce you have done the academic study - can take as little as a day to do this ~ see if you can get a grant from the government for small businesses / summer businesses for youth. See if the idea can grow with oyu throught the school year - not just summer break.  How cool would it be if you could provide employment for fellow students?  Of courses that raises a whole host of issues but it can be fun and has been done in the past - look at the founders of GOGGLE - all students at Stamford. \n\nYou are asking for seed money - money that will provide the seed for the business - a lawn mower / cell phone/PDA for a grass cutting business, a cell phone / PDA for a pet walking business.  You get the idea.\n\nAlso remember to:\n\n1) PAY YOURSELF FIRST.  Take your first paycheque and bank 20% of it and every pay cheque for the rest of your life as savings.  Retirement savings will be there for you so will college money and you will learn to live within your means. NEVER TOUCH this money unless of dire emergency - not it is a fashion emergency - but losing job emergency, got to have surgery emergency.\n\n2) NEVER - EVER - EVER loan money to family / friends.  If they need a loan, say over $100 set terms, negotiate a payment plan and be prepared to pursue the money.  Chances are once they find out your terms they will not be willing to borrow the money because they know they will never be able to pay it back. Do not be taken advantage of, you are not a door mat.\n\n3) Enjoy yourself. Going into work for yourself can be fun and exciting.

contact the school directly for a "student advisor" they should be able to answer those questions and give you specifics on UCLA's policies as well as how you can get set up for an SAT.

As far as course of major, it depends on what you want to do with your life. If you want a PhD, the Business PhD pays more (since these are highly demanded by the business world), but you'd have to prove yourself by working in the corporate world for a number of years first.\n\nThe economics PhD isn't a good idea immediately following undergrad (or even the Master's) unless you have some very deep insights or an unusual gift for the theory. It's best to get some good work experiences, even if this is a Fulbright scholarship to study tenant farming in New Guinea. Still, it is a rewarding profession (or so I'm told).\n\nI must warn you that a B.A. in economics doesn't help you much on its own. It'd be good for you to get a minor or a second degree in business, accounting, finance, statistics or math.\n\nMath is not only essential for graduate economics study - it IS graduate economics study. Most grad schools require at least a 780 in math on your GRE and want you to take the following:\n\nThree semester of calculus (four if you're in a quarter system)\nReal Analysis\nTwo semesters of Theoretical Statistics\nTwo semesters of Applied Statistics\nOne semester (minimum) of Econometrics\n\nYes, it is a lot of math. Many PhD candidates were math or engineering undergrads who then cram through the theory. As tough as this is, it is easier than being an economics undergrad and cramming through four terms of Calc and Analysis the summer before.\n\nIf you want a taste of what graduate school is like, there are a number of preparatory summer institutions for undergrads like yourself. They're pricey but very worth it. I know of one at Duke and another at Colorado.

Talk to your old coach and let him know that you are interested in coaching.  He may have a spot for you wherever he is now or he may talk to someone else and tell them about you.  He will also be able to tell you what you need as far as your degree is concerned.  Good luck!

I would suggest either getting a Business education, or a teaching degree, if you think you like teaching.  Business you can use to do an awful lot of things, if you are unsure what you want to do.  However, I would only kind of heed the person above me answer, the marketable part of it is right- but dont just pick any old major.  My brother has struggled with his English degree, and a guy I knew that majoed in Poli Sci just because he liked it (but didnt have any real plan what to do with it afterward) managed to get a job, but has been kinda stuck in the same place forever.  So the marketable part is the key.  Poli Sci or other majors liek that are fine if you have aplan as to what you want to do with them (for Poli Sci, Law School, urban planning, etc would all be fine ways to go, so its viable, as long as you liek the career paths that it most likely lends itself to).

Math, science or business.  I got a degree in biochemistry and had a fulltime job with benefits two months before I graduated!

Several business schools offer a PhD in economics (mine does not).  Recommend you select a region and then contact business schools in that area.

Contact the school you graduated from.  Almost every school has a Career Center/Career Resource Center, and they offer services to graduates, too.  You should be able to work with them to update your resume, look through job postings and get some pointers on the current job market.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps!

You are on the right track. Make sure you take an internship. That will help you the most because it shows that you have experience in that area. Ask an advisor in the area what they think your next step should be. They will be able to point you in a better direction than anyone in here could. Good luck!

Try Stanford or Saint Mary's college. Also check out the UC system website, it will lead you to all the UC's that have an economic page.

http://www.umanitoba.ca/student/counselling/WhatCanIDo/economics.html\n\nThis is an official list.  Although only 50% of people end up working in their major this is a good list.  \n\nEconomics degrees are mainly good to have as a versitile college prereq to jobs.  \n\nUnless you are an economist you may not use much of the economic analysis that you learn how to do.  Much of the common sence stuff will be very useful to you however.

You will either want to become a peace officer or lawyer.\n\nYou could get a paralegal degree. Ask at your school.

I would ask someone like your advisor/mentor at the school where you got the degree you already have what options might be available to you, and how to go about getting and filling out the necessary paperwork.\n\nGood luck!
