Here are my choices

I'am not looking to do banking, just find a job here in the south in some finance, economics, market research or analytically related position. I know that's a wide selection but bear with me.

University of South Florida MSF Florida State University- Masters in Applied Economics online masters in applied economics UCF MBA

Ideally I would like to save my MBA for a better school but regardless UCF as a local option is still an option.

Have u considered, SMU, Tulane, and UT Dallas/Austin? These 4 schools have MSF programs that are much better than every school you listed and are all in the south.

 

1) What online masters in applied econ are you looking at? Thats a terrible option for what you want to do but I am just curious.

2) UF is a much better choice than those listed.

@BigBucks

I have considered choices outside of the Florida but I' am not willing to take out loans so that eliminates that option.These options I have listed are 1/3 the price of those you have listed.

@happypantsmcgee

The masters in applied econ programs are Georgia southern online program and University of North Dakota. Would an online program be a bad choice?

UF would be great but it's also uber competitive and I have very little relevant work experience so Basically I'am looking to start from scratch.

 

I would think you should at least apply to UF, that would definitely be your best bet for a Florida school.

What do you do for work and what do you want to do for work after school?

Maybe shoot TNA a private message and see if he has an opinion.
