<p>johnkgh…thanks for the kind words.
I am getting a BA. From all of the research I have done and people I have talked to (I have several clients that work for Goldman Sachs), they said that firms, as well as graduate schools and law schools prefer a BA, especially in the Econ field because they would like the person to have more of a study of Humanities/Social fields, rather than a BS, which primairly focuses on the Mathematics/Sciences. I would imagine that from their perspective, a BA makes the student a more well-rounded individual.</p>
