I would love to hear from people who earned a degree in economics or any other degree. If you have not, your input is also appreciated.
Basically, I have completed a two year degree in a junior college, and now, I can transfer to a University. I am enthusiastic about the field of economics, but I am concerned I will end up having a degree that is not too practical in the real work environment. Hmm… No offense, but I think some degrees can guarantee better opportunities than others depending on the market. Let’s just say I am not sure what I will do after I graduate, and if I will get a job on other field (teaching, finance, accounting, managing), why not study any of THOSE fields instead? Maybe I will not enjoy it much, but I will have a job after all ¿¿¿???
Don’t mean to sound harsh… I am just a concerned student who wants to hear from others who have succeded/failed after studying econ.
I’ve started studying for a joint bachelors degree in Physics and Statistics.
If I were to go on to complete a masters degree in Quantitative Finance after my degree (I heard it wa possible to transfer from a physics/ numerical degree to a finance masters), how hard would it be for me to get a financial analyst’s or an investment banker’s job? I know that the financial climate isn’t good at the minute but I looking like 5/6 years down the road (as I’ve only started my degree).
I filled out an inquiry for a Honda Civic at some buy here pay here place, anyway, filled out the form and the guy got me approved.. well I had to fax references, paystubs, driver’s license, copy of social security and after I faxed them I would make an appointment to come put down ,000 for the car because he got me financed.. well I faxed it Saturday morning, didn’t hear anything.

He said they been "slam busy"

1.In recent years many companies have offered zero percent interest for many months or even years. Why would they do that? Would they/Should they be receptive to cash payment now with a discount in lieu of interest expense?
2.Traditionally, companies have allowed a grace period of up to 10 days from due date before determining a receivable to be delinquent. What effect will the advent of electronic payments have on the determination of receivables delinquency? How should customers respond?
