I would recommend an MS in Statistics over an MS in Economics since you're not interested in an academic career. A BS in Economics with an MS in Statistics would give you many more real world options than both a BS and MS in Economics. Statistics is a subject with broad application throughout the social sciences and life sciences as well as the business world, and this will be an enormous benefit should you ever tire of economics. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
