Me: 30 years old, JD, Lathamed, working deadend nonprofit now.

I've always wanted to go into academia. That being said, I'm a Polisci shithead and am not stupid enough to double down on that racket.

The only PhDs that have some career prospects for both academia AND private sector (as Plan B) that I'm interested in pursuing are : Economics, Finance, or Accounting.

I've looked into it and it seems like it wouldn't be impossible for me to get into a program but I'd need to probably get a Masters first and do some serious math work.

Tips/ advice? Bad idea?

If you are this indefinite about your interests, terrible idea. A masters won't be enough to get you into anything but a mediocre program at best, you'll be taking on debt for the masters, and at best you'll be out with a phd around age 37. It's a massive investment of time and energy.

Very large organization (everyone here has prob heard of it)

Problem is very little room for growth, and the type of work I'm doing does not develop any skills.
