People Face Trade-Offs
In this assignment, it is evident that I have only one semester left to graduate and I have enough finances to do a maximum of four courses. Three of the courses are required courses and the last course slot is elective. I will have to narrow down my choices to three electives and based on two economic decision-making principles, I will provide and support my choice.
To begin with, in the scenario, I have three different courses and I have to select one. The three courses include business management, mathematics, and economics. These courses provide and include different benefits and disadvantages and my choice should predict high benefits and incentives. There are various jobs related to mathematics such as high school math teacher, market research analysis, and inventory control specialist. Pursuing mathematics will also improve my arithmetic skills. However, mathematics is very complex and will require a lot of time.
On the other hand, economics degree course provides a range of advantages as well as disadvantages. For example, after pursuing the economic course, I will work either as an accountant or as financial analysts as well as investment analysts and statistician. Economics course will provide me with the opportunity to learn new investment skills, capital management and ability to analyze economic trends and patterns. Despite this, economics is a very complex and demanding course. In addition, economics mostly involves tiresome work
guns or butter: a phrase hat refers to the trade-offs that nations face when choosing whether to produce more or less military or consumer goods.
Economics is defined as, of or relating to economics or the economy; justified in terms of profitability. (MerriamWebster) Economics is essentially the way we organize and we use our country’s resources. It is a determination of the way a country runs and allocates the resources. Since resources are and critical to the livelihood of so many, ethical questions arise when deciding how to allocate funds. Therefore the foundation of economics is ethical.
The college major that you select impacts the types of jobs you will be qualified for upon graduation.
Theme: Difficulty of making choices is the main theme in this story. First, Mia has to choose between life and death "And then there was nothing. Nothing but the choice between living and dying", and her choice will be based on her love between her family and Adam "I understand if you go" Grandpa says to Mia. Second, she has to choose between her first love "music" and her boyfriend, Adam. She has to rethink about going to Juilliard, which is far away from where Adam lives, therefore, she cannot be with him. Or she has to just give up her dream, so she can stay with Adam and they will not break up their relationship since Adam doesn't want a far away relationship, and he wants Mia always beside him. All of these come back to one point "love".
My interest in business and economics began one winter break during junior year of high school. As I flipped through titles on Netflix, it was not a comedy nor an action-packed movie I landed upon, but rather the documentary Inequality for All. When it came time to choose classes for senior year, I jumped at the chance to take advanced placement micro and macroeconomics. Within the first week of attending class, my decision to study business economics was solidified.
1. What are some of the financial decisions that people face? What are trade-offs? What are some of the trade-offs that you may face?
I found this course to be highly valuable in its efforts to provide insight on the potential majors of the Belk Scholar’s program. While there remain many questions about the future path of the program, it did help to solidify both my understanding of the major options and my personal decision. I am more confident now that the M.S. in Economics is the option I will pursue. Throughout the course, with every new topic, I always found myself asking the economic questions of each issue. Furthermore, I continue to find the subject matter to be fascinating.
Factors to be considered are salaries, what will I start off with? What degree do I need to earn what I actually want? What am I good at? For sure the decision is complicated. Throughout this essay, we have compiled the three most popular fields of study chosen by college students.
Thousands of students graduate from high school each year in the United States. As they enter college a new world of decisions opens up to them. The main one being; how should one choose a major, based on potential financial gain or based on enjoyment? For the purposes of this paper when speaking of potential financial gain I am referring to majors that will have some type of base salary of at least 40k and enjoyment as majors that are in the fine arts. With so many different options at so many different schools this is undoubtedly one of the most difficult decisions to make due to the fact that a person’s entire future will essentially be on the line. Nonetheless, when choosing a major, the most rational thing for someone to do is to choose a major with potential financial gain
by gaining reasoning and interpretation skills to apply economics and business, students learn to make informed decisions and to appreciate the interdependence of decisions made within economic systems.
In the beginning, focusing on only one subject economize so much time. When you have a general education, you will have to spend a large amount of time on those fields, and its homework as well. Actually, you had already spent 12 years on a lot of subjects, and now you need to concentrate on just the subject you choose. You won't waste time on unimportant things that you don't need for your job. That's why general education isn't a good choice.
In this modern, fast paced world students should not be required to take elective courses to complete a baccalaureate and should only be required to successfully complete courses related to their chosen major. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, two-thirds of jobs will require postsecondary education by 2018. Therefore, college degrees are becoming more and more significant in achieving a successful job. In order to receive a college degree, there are certain requirements needed to complete a degree program. One of those requirements are core classes, which teach necessary and valuable information that is directly related to the major. The other requirement is electives that are counted towards the degree program but are not related to the degree major. Therefore, students should not be required to take electives because they are simply a waste of time and money.
Economic class needs to be required for students. So they will not live in debt and will be able to buy things, wants and needs instead of things they can’t afford. Having a economic class helps students or adults in the future. Stats show that taking this class would be very helpful.
My course revolves mostly around Business Economics and Law and Legislation, which helped me to expand my knowledge in Economics, and languages such as English, German and Russian. Languages have taught me the ability to tailor written work directed at an audience using an appropriate format and to communicate with non-Italian people over different subjects. Mathematics is also important in our school and, through these five years, I develop my analytical and logic skills in better. I feel maths will be of an advantage during my years in university and when I hopefully enter a career within the field of economics. My favourite part of Economics is Microeconomics because I particularly enjoy analysing how different choice can affect a market or the progress of an industry, or how price and demands are defined in a different type of
People deal with plenty of choices in their everyday lives. At the moment we open our eyes, we have to make decisions. For instance, should we get up and prepare ourselves for a new day, or should we continue resting in our beds? Even after when we have made this decision, we will still face choices after choices. However, we cannot get all the things we want as according to Mankiw, scarcity exists in our society. In other words, scarcity means that society has limited resources and therefore cannot produce all the goods and services people wish to have. To get one thing that we like, we usually have to give up other things that we like. Making decisions require trading off one goal against another. This phenomenon is also called
