Acting on my belief in the necessity of economic education, I introduced a measure in the Student Congress calling for three hours of economics to be required for all bachelor's degree programs, and for additional elective hours of economics to be made to be applicable to all degree plans. Soon, I hope to be working with UTA's African-American Recruitment Committee, visiting area high schools, to talk to students who would not otherwise be planning on seeking college degrees, to try to impress upon them the importance of a degree when competing in the job market. Many people take up the study of economics in the belief that it will prove a lucrative profession. There is nothing to criticize in this outlook. I study economics because it is the study of how people live.
Freedom depends on economic freedom, and failure is defined as economic failure.
Every war has economic causes, and all political disputes are, at their core, economic in nature. I want to perfect my understanding of the discipline of economics so that I can go on to help others understand the economy around them, and how they can make that economy work to their benefit.
