[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these hoity-toity econ majors. The reality is that econ is the easy degree for mediocre/students without any passions to find jobs. That's it. It could've been stats or cs, but those require the scary word-MATH-so, instead, people major in Econ. Any liberal arts college grad has the social skills to get through a finance position. These are all students smart enough to get through the wacky college admissions process and land on top; that's hard to do without persuasive qualities. [/quote]

60% of econ programs require calculus. 80% of the econ programs at top schools do. Usually also probability and statistics. It's not an easy degree for mediocre students, especially at places like Williams, idiot.[/quote]
Oh how scary, CALCULUS! And 1 stats class...You know who does a similar amount of math? Psych majors, Political Science majors...This is not at all impressive and just shows how little quantitative skills you need for an econ major. The serious ones all have to major in Math, because you don't learn any skills.[/quote]
