I finish my ba in Business with concentration of Economic. The only different is I took few more business classes and one less Econ class, but my degree doesn’t have a econ word on top of it.

Now I am planning to get my master. What is the different if I get it in masta in Econ or MBA with economic concentration? I love econ, would I be able to teach Econ classes in junior college with my MBA/Econ instead of pure ms in Econ? Also if I plan to work for the government would I be able to get the same job with MBA/Econ compare to a ms in econ? For jobs like economic researchers.

One last question, how about jumping from MBA/Econ to Phd in Econ? Would it work or doesn’t? The reason I would get a MBA over a MS in Econ is because if I get my MBA from my old college, I only need 11 total classes.(they can take some classes out since I got some As and Bs in few of the 400 levels class when I did my undergrad.)

Thanks alot if someone can answer any of these questions.
