I have a question for all you guys, I really enjoy economics and finance, both as a "sport" and a lifetime career. I graduated honors from the economics degree (3.50 of 4.00), which demonstrate that I am pretty good at the basic concepts and theory but terrible, I mean terribe, big time terrible. It as like a B on Statistics and an F and an C average on Math and Calculus. I first thought that I could be from my dylexic periods but now I see that simply I am terrible at it,
Can I still be an economist and be bad on Math? If not how can I apply my excellent knowledge on economics?
The question is the following "Is economics for me"
Economics, global development,current affairs, globalization, culture and more rants on the dismal science, and the society. "As usual, it's like being a kid in a candy store. I'm awed by the volume of high-quality daily links in general. Thanks!" - Chris Blattman

Even thought the answer might be "no" (it probably is), I'm still trying to go for it.
ReplyDeleteFor people in our situation, two things should be avoided: 1) buying heterodox stuff, just because it's math-free; 2) giving up trying to understand (I find that after the 5th, full-attention read, I "get it", even if it takes 3 reads for others).
