Economics has challenged me to think and comprehend to this day. With the entire world focusing on economics, it, too, is contemporary and vital. Economics gave an analytical framework to public policy. It is steeped with history. Having a greater understanding of the economic system allows for better understanding of its sub-units.
People lose sight that accounting, marketing and finance are but one piece of economics.
I chose to study the entire system which I feel gives me a leg up on those with a specialized focus, such as accounting. If I had it to do all over again I would make the same choice. Economics is an outstanding major. In my position, we become so focused on one aspect of the business that we lose sight of the bigger picture. Economics teaches you that every policy change or adjustment could have ramifications in other areas.
