I’ve had a deep interest in fin/econ since my undergrad years. I need a professional degree, and it is this or law. And I do not want to go near law.

I’d like to focus on agriculture economics/finance, if possible, as I grew up on a farm.

Any tips would be mucho appreciated!

I've been accepted at good schools for grad degrees in finance, financial economics, and a few MBA's. I can't make up my mind! <br/><br/>Any suggestions?? Great blog!
