We can have polls! How many took a economics class?

[Tab]

Simple Question. It shows alot of the forums I just finished taking it in High School. It really shows that only 8% of Americans have to take it to graduate High School.

Suggest changing the High School options to NOT overlap, e.g. "C or lower" and "B or higher". [ deleted ]


Edit: already did my second suggestion

Just fixed all the grammer, spelling.

I think you should add masters level econ.

 

[glenn1]

There are other financial disciplines besides the dismal science, such as accounting, operations management, business analysis, and my major, Business Finance. Needless to say, I think those with financials background can also claim to have a pretty reasonable grasp of basic and intermediate level economic principles.

 

[Spamela]

i took multiple (college) classes (specializing in quantitative econ),
got lots of A's, & got accepted into a PhD program.

I want a president to say "If you elect me I am going to raise your taxes and ask the Federal Reserve to increase interests rates." That'd would be the day

It wasn't even offered at my high school. But there were only 1000 students, so maybe that's why.

HAHAHAHAHAH! Wow, you managed to name nearly every one of my most hated disciplines in on paragraph...that's AWESOME!

I took a macroeconomics class a couple semesters ago. It did not really grasp my attention all that well though.(Got an A-, so no real complaints )

 

[Spencer278]

what about an option for people taking the class right now?

 

[wirelessenabled]

Double major Economics and Statistics.

Too dumb to major in real Math

Did manage to make it through Linear Algebra and Vector Analysis but that was the end for me.

 

[Czar]

where would I be around 16-18 years old in your school system?

Either 10th, 11th or 12th grade in high school.(12th grade is the last grade before college)

 

[chess9]

I also studied witchcraft, phrenology, astrology, and underwater basketweaving in college. Sheezh...and I thought a degree in English was worthless....

[BDawg]

There's no option for me. I took economics in college and graduate school.

Wirelessenabled:

Since you took Statistics you should be much better at prevarication than your posts indicate.

[Orsorum]

I'm pursuing an economics and accounting double degree (B.S. + B.B.A.), minor in mathematics, and I'm going to law school after I graduate in Spring 2005.

Yeah, I got through multivariable calc and formal proofs, then I realized that I couldn't do much in formal mathematics; I love statistics, modelling, accounting, and finance, though.

 

[EagleKeeper]

Economics did not exist when I was in HS. Then you needed common sense and sweat

 

[Zebo]

Considering I started as an accounting major it was required. Macro and micro 14 years ago. But I got really bored and switched to biochem and eventually materials engineering.. Boss wants me to go back and do MBA so I may take again or more...but I'm getting tired of working and after taking management performance classes I can't see myself in school again.

I've taken Elementry Probability (stats), Calc1, calc2, calc3, DiviQ1, DiviQ2.

 

[XZeroII]

Took 2 in College. Got an A in both of them

Still no grad school option.
