It makes sense. GRE has 3 sections. The quantitative part is very easy, but the other 2 are complicated for me. That is the reason that I will need to spend some time preparing for GRE. My idea is get in a Masters. If I really enjoy the masters, then I will try to get in PhD. Also, if I will try to get in PhD, my idea is to apply to great American universities. But, I'll only apply if I believe that I have chance. My question here is not about Masters (I'll get in the Masters), my question is if good American Universities will reject (or will be more hard to get in great American Universities) due to my age and my previous PhD.

Anyway... If I decided to try a PhD in Econ at USA or Europe after the master, do you believe that age or the fact that I will already have a doctor degree will be a big redflag or do you believe that I will have a chance to get in a great school? I need to think about the PhD hypothesis because I'll need to take GRE to apply to PhD and I'd like a great GRE score. So, I need to decide if I'll already spend time preparing for the test.

I am 30 years old and my PhD is in pure mathematics. I have taken intermediate Microeconomics and basic Macroeconomics as undergraduate. I have already studied some advanced topics of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics by myself. I don't know if I want to pursue an academic career in economics, but I think this PhD can open up further opportunities for my future. At the moment, I am finishing my PhD and I can't get a job outside academia because my background is almost completely in pure mathematics.

Hi guys, I'm finishing PhD in STEM in my home country and I'm thinking to try a PhD in Economics in USA (yes, a second PhD). Do you believe that is possible or having a PhD is a huge redflag for admission? Actually, I'm planning a masters degree in Economics in my home country and then applying for PhD because I need LORs from great economists.
