If I wanted to get a job as an analyst what math should I take?

I am majoring in Economics and love market analysis, especially retail markets. I have the option of Math for Economists or taking the full calculus sequence. Which is better or does it not matter to the employer?|||You should consult your professor or a professional in the field to help you determine this. Don't guess, know for sure. Tell them your end-goal and see how they think each course relates to that goal. You can also talk to your school's career services department to see if they have any input. Keep in mind that they won't have the same level of detailed knowledge that a professor or someone who already has the job will.





You might also be able to get some guidance from job postings in the field that you want to work in. Do a Monster or Careerbuilder search and see what each posting calls for. If they have some specific coursework that is required, you'll know what to take. If not, see what specific types of experience they require and then compare those requirements to the course description for each class.





Once you go to apply for a job in the field, be sure to call out the parts of your education that have prepared you for that job. Courses like the one you are about to undertake might just give you an edge over the competition.
