“The study of Economics directly benefited my career,” Tim stated in a recent email.  “The combination of numbers, words, problems, calculations, analysis, and evaluations, developed via the study of Economics, gave insights into the real world. Approaching real-life situations from an analytical thinking style developed from the study of Economics resulted in more efficient and conclusive outcomes.” (Last Updated 2/22/18)
