Econ career in the EU academics
Hi! I am a second year master student in quantitative social sciences, and my bachelor degree is not related with economics or math (but math is my favorite subject and I think I’m good at math). During my master studies, I developed my interest in econometrics and economics (for now, labor economics). Now I have a Econ PhD offer from Frankfurt school of finance and economics.
My question is:
Given my future plan is to work in the Econ academics in EU, should I:
- go to the Econ PhD in Frankfurt,
- apply for other Econ master in public universities
(I suppose I won’t have scholarships)
3. Finish the first two years of Frankfurt program and obtain a M.Sc. in Business Research and Analytics (with stipend), then use resources there to apply for other three years’ Econ PhD in Europe.
I asked because I heard that an Econ PhD in a business school at Frankfurt is not very helpful for working in the academia in the future.
