Nope. I filled my free time in HS with electronics at Boces and my free time in college with a CIS minor. I have taken Engineering Economics as part of my M.S. but it was tailored for manufacturing. ---

Macro and Micro should be required in every college’s core curriculum. I mean, they make them take bullshit liberal arts classes in literature, philosophy, etc. that 99% of the students will never use again, yet a liberal arts student can get a college degree knowing absolutely nothing about money and economics. ---

I think most classical economists were idiots and Keynes had things more right than the rest. ---

I think most classical economists were idiots and Keynes had things more right than the rest. Keynes was right about prices being sticky. I disagree with him about the state being the driver of economic growth. Maybe idiot is too strong a word 🙂 ---

I watch Mad Money so I voted “Graduate Level” I think morons with a few undergrad courses are more fucked up than people with no training at all. They just come back and regurgitate what theory they heard in lecture last week like it is gospel. ---
