Step lightly here. If you want to know where people went to school and for how long, what they studied, etc., ask. Don't make assumptions.
There are more than a few people here who have attended top-rated universities in the country, if not the world.
Some of them are even posting in this thread.
How do I know what their background is? I asked them about it before.
Carry on. |

I did 1st year econ. I chose business and finance instead because the difference between the business school and the econ department is about $200 million.

Yes, I know about half of the people in this thread. We argue the same thing over and over and talk offline sometimes about the same thing.
You may not know me, but by "normal" I mean people who have classical training. This comment was not directed at any particular person because there is no such thing as being "normal".
It is well known that people who are self-taught tend to be a bit more eccentric and creative than classically trained people. This is not anything new.
If you're one or the other, or if you break the stereotype, it's no big deal. It just is.

They have also present very good arguments for why it is not feasible.
Some of us take an active interest in the economy and financial situations due to our own place in the world. Something you may not know of with out knowing us personally.

Al these things may be true. I don't know how to respond. Did you have a question for me?
