I only have high school micro and macro.

Business was always my fail safe, if for some reason I found engineering to be too difficult.

Didn’t happen, but business still has always interested me. Though it seems like economics is more or less the same as trend guessing. You need to guess what society will deem valuable at a specific moment, almost like a fad. Therefore all one can do is fit a trend line and hope for the best.

I like questions that have direct tangible answers.

Will this beam support this load? … hum I can answer that…

What color would most people paint this beam? …oh jesus christ…

It was a simple thread: State you level of formal economic education. So please…state your formal economic education.
