[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally kid who is good in math should do well in micro/macro Econ. Some formulas, charts and concepts. [/quote]

My older kid was a strong math student (he took bc calc and mv in high school and did very well in both without putting in a lot of work; 800 math sat score first sitting) but has not taken to econ in college and has struggled in it - before he went to college I would have guessed he’d wind up something like a quant econ major.

He was in the same boat as OP’s kid with intro to econ freshman year (he pulled it up to a B via the final), and I convinced him to try macro because I assumed he must have had a bad prof for the intro class, but he’s struggling in macro, too, and doesn’t find it easy or interesting.

My kid will never use those “strong” math skills, haha. [/quote]
Why doesn't he use a quantitative major...like math. The quant finance guys aren't finance nerds-they are math (specifically applied math and probability) nerds.[/quote]

he’s not interested in a math major

i just responded to say that strong math skills doesn’t mean you will find econ easy[/quote]
