That's a whole lotta Economics! :o

I'm just surprised, seeing it on paper like that.

[LeftyMom]

1. I've had, let me think, one.

Personal finance (it's cross-labeled business and econ.) So on the off chance I ever have any money, I can not be stupid with it. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Ha!

If I feel like it, I'll take Money and Financial Institutions next semester...my LAST semester! w00t!

Well, until Grad school, that is. x(

But, I don't know, I'll still have my Thesis (3 credits), Internship (6), Calc (4)...so....Probably not.

May 30th or whatever can't get here soon enough, seriously.

[LeftyMom]

4. Yeah, with your thesis and calculus, you won't need to take on any more work.

That's more than enough.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I am the fabled Multitasker!

Sleep is my enemy! Caffeine is my weapon! :D

They will tell my tale to small children late at night one day, I swear... :rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

2. I Lurve Econ

Lots of curvy charts.

[bicentennial_baby]

5. Econ Graphs are FUN!

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

6. I did two in my first year of university.

Then I got as far away as I could. :P

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Wuss...

:P

It gets better after Micro and Macro and theory crap, I swear! Otherwise I would have quit years ago! :rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

12. I'll stick to political science and sociology, thanks.

:P

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Ha! I started out as a PoliSci major!

:rofl:

It takes all kinds, eh? Haha. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I think I'm the only person ever who hasn't changed majors.

Ridiculous.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Wow!

Well, I guess I know who to talk to when I have economic questions!

That's a whole lotta econ, my dear bi_baby!

I could never do that stuff...

My brain's just not wired for numbers!

:yourock:

[bicentennial_baby]

11. It's not all numbers...trust me

There's plenty of that in Micro/Macro theory classes, but a lot of the others are conceptual classes, lots of papers. The major math comes in Grad school.

Ok, Econometrics was math heavy, but I've blocked that out. Bad memories, despite the A grade I got. :scared:

:)

[sasquatch]

10. I loved macro but hated micro

:)

[bicentennial_baby]

13. You're either a Micro or a Macro person...

Rarely does a person take to both. Even my Profs. That just seems to be the way it is. I used to think I was a Macro person, but I take to Micro more and more as time goes on. It scares me, frankly. :P

[JVS]

18. I liked both.

[flvegan]

16. I'm so evil...in a nutshell, what did you learn?

Also, I'd advise you to take a good real estate/real property economics class.

[LeftyMom]

17. omg, please never mention real estate again

The guy I'm taking personal finance from is a real estate guy by trade (he teaches part time for the pension and bennies.) I never want to hear another word about our local market again.

And Dad's looking at houses again (he took my advice for once and waited for the downturn) so I hear about it from him too.

[flvegan]

20. Um....I'm in the title industry so

not mentioning real estate? Not gonna happen.

I can say that I got tossed from my freshman personal finance class. Dumbfuck didn't like my answer that took into question the dividends paid via preferred over common stock of a reference he used. Didn't even consider the split that his reference took the same year.

Look, if you want total earnings you have to take into consideration the source of those earnings.

I was 18 at the time. Probably made 5x what he did that year practicing what he thought he was preaching.

Wish I was still an asshole profiteer...

[LeftyMom]

21. Thanks for volunteering!

I'll email you my homework later. :P

Just kidding, this shit's crazy easy.

[whistler162]

19. Mr. Bernanke don't you think you should have taken,...

them BEFORE taking over the Federal Reserve?

GEEEZZ!!!!!;)

[quakerboy]

22. So, WTF

Get off yer arse and fix it already, then.

[Monk06]

23. Have you taken Palinomics yet? I hear that's an up and coming specialty.

[billyoc]

24. Ah, the Dismal Science. A great field of study if ever there was one.

You never have to be right about anything, ever. :hi:

[MissMillie]

25. you gonna come work for us over here....?

We could use somebody "cool" here in this department.

[BreweryYardRat]

26. Yeesh. I think I'd be a gibbering puddle of drool after that.

I'll stick to history, thanks.

[Orsino]

27. With good behavior, you should have been able to get early release after ten classes. n/t

[Patiod]

28. My favorite economics joke

Told the first day of Macro

"A bunch of economist were trapped in a deep pit.
'How do we get out?' one asked.
'Simple,' said another. 'First, we imagine a ladder'."

[meegbear]

29. Yeah, but can you balance a checkbook?
