Thanks for your comment. I should say that this year has been a kind of conundrum. I considered, at first, do some math courses and then apply to a master; nevertheless, here (in my country) it's difficult to get just the math courses as an "outsider" of the degree programs. After the bachelor's, it would be mandatory to do a master in economics?

Hello everyone. I want to do a change of career in 180 degrees. This year I received my bachelor degree in law, and I hope to star the next year a four-year bachelor program in economics (from a Chilean university, with a strong math preparation) My main concern consists in the age at which I would be ready to apply to a Phd program, which will be 30. Is it too late to give it a try? What I want to do is, eventually, research/work in the development economics field and/or economic history. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I found this terrific forum, and I thought that, maybe, I would be able to get some feedback about my current situation. In short, I have an undergraduate degree in law, from an university in Chile. But what I really expect to do -even regarding what uncommon it could be- is get into a graduate program in economics (Msc or MA) in order to try an application to a phd program in US. As you could imagine, my academic background has nothing to do with math or Econ; nevertheless, I expect to take this year -I began on January- to prepare myself in math, take some courses at university or college level at the end of this, and the following. However, I do not know whether my plan it's a whole nonsense or a foolish dream. Therefore, I would be quite grateful if someone could tell me about some options for someone in a situation like mine is, or if know someone who did something similar; also, whether it is not too much to ask, some information about good masters programs that could help me to get that math and Econ background. Best regards, V.
