This is a late comment, but I love this video! I’m going to be a first year economics major, and everyone in my Highschool who took economics was all like “ugh I hate Econ so much” and whenever people asked what I was gonna major in, I told them Econ and they were like “yikesss that sucks” and I loved how you said no Econ shaming 😂 Econ was super fun when I took it in Highschool! I wish there were more Econ classes offered at my Highschool but there was only 1 and even though parts were rather difficult, it all ended up being mostly understandable and pretty fun too.
Thank you for this comment!! I took one Econ class in HS also so don't worry about not taking more classes!! And Econ is DIFFICULT but if you think it's fun it is 100p right for you!
learning Economics is like doing a privilege sport like equestrian or Figure skating. it will only make sense doing it if you can take it to end and you will need support for the feeling that its useless till its not.
This is so helpful. I've been wondering if studying economics was a good major to study and you've proved me right.
that is awesome! You will love it I PROMISE
I love economics, but I somewhat dislike math. I aced ALL of my economic courses growing up from high school to a university. It’s fascinating. My favorite math is algebra, and geometry statistics was fun, but I just didn’t have time to focus on that part of math.
You can definitely do Econ without being a big math person! There are different tracks you can choose :)
MJD and NYC are there reasonable job offers for those with an economics degree? I have a criminal justice degree, but I like economics as well.
@@kaybee46 Yes of course!! There are SO many jobs you can get with an Econ degree because it applies to basically everything!!
I like your thought of how "writing shouldn't be graded". I too think it's restrictive and unnecessary to grade a creative piece.
Exactly! Thank you so much :)
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It’s so helpful for me as I’m choosing a major.
That's so kind! Best of luck :)
I LOVE your videos, especially as they provide firsthand, rare info about Barnard. I really hope you’ll make the econ classes vid!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT'S SO SWEET!! I will make it soon!!
I think the next video should be Economics major vs Finance major differences.
ooooh good idea
as someone who wants to graduate in economics I LOVED THIS VIDEO
THANK YOU I LOVE THIS COMMENT
Thanks for the video :) I feel like I found what I want to study. I’ve been considering econ major and cs minor as well, and I couldn’t find anything about econ major, but CS is very YT popular - loads of videos about it
thank YOU for watching :)
What if I don't like maths..but I loveeeee love economics!?
You can still do Economics!! Just another track, I just posted a video about choosing tracks based on interests :)
@@mjdandnyc3193 hi luv, could you maybe link the other video, i don't like math either, but i lOvE econ, it's the only subject i actually enjoy
I’m majoring in political science and minor in economics,should I do it that way or switch it maybe majoring in economics instead .I just want a job after college
Hi Mari, it depends what you want to do after college! Those are both excellent majors that will get you a job, so my advice is to just chose the one you like better :)
Why do they call people that go into finance from Econ a snake? I’m confused
I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for the talk! :)
Yay! Ty for watching hehe
I have no previous knowledge in economics but I’m really interested in it! I live in the UK and I haven’t done economics A level but I wanna do an economics degree. How could I show interest in economics without actually having studied it?
Excellent question! I would say mostly keep up to date with the news by reading local + international newspapers, different economics focused magazines like The Economist, and joining clubs at your school/ uni that are focused around economics or are related in certain fields. So reading + getting involved is a great way to show interest!
2 people I would highly recommend you look up are Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell. Read Basic economics by Thomas Sowell. That is a great foundational book. No charts or graphs or equations. Just plane english and a very enlightening.
@@GiancarloP93 This is so helpful, thank you so much! (I think I will read also) :)
@@mjdandnyc3193 No problem. I would also recommend watching Milton Friedman's 10 part documentary series 'Free to choose'. It's all on youtube :)
I'm starting my b.s. in finance and economics in 2 months
You will do great!!
Now that u mention it, I watch lot of college UA-cam and not many people are economics majors mostly law or art or cs (or they drop out lol) so is it like taboo to aspire to be a finance student or not cool? Unlike in my country (South Africa) if u aren’t smart enough for science maybe hated it, commerce/finance is what u study. I was an economics & statistics major but wasn’t interested in financial side of economics and wanted the more social sciences side so changing to development economics. Worried about my wealth prospects so looking up videos like this but there aren’t many from econ majors (maybe they think it’s not cool) any economics based video is very old here on YT so thanks for ur upload!
At Columbia it is ~very~ cool and a ton of people study economics! The only way to study "finance" is to be in the engineering school which has different requirements. I love the idea of studying developmental economics and it is a very impressive/ interesting/ cool thing to study!! Also thank you!
Thanks for this video!
Ofc! Ty for watching :)
Thanks so much for making this! Do you know how many classes we can take in a semester?
you can take up to 21 credits per semester!
Thank you so much for this video! I am currently pursuing a B.S in Econ with a minor in Stats and a concentration in Data Analytics. What do you think my job prospects are?
HI! I think that's an amazing major, minor, and concentration and you'll have so many options for jobs + internships. Data analytics is really important for any field and a combo of that + Econ + stats means you can go into any math/finance background and succeed. All if this is just what I think tho but I promise you will have tons of job options!!
That’s what I am thinking of doing as well... but I don’t know which one I should major in and which one I should minor
Im gonna be a senior next year and I want to major in Economics. Im deciding if I should take AP Statistics or AP Calculus AB. Which one should I take? Btw I am taking 3 other AP classes senior year ( Macroeconomics, Psychology, Environmental Science)
I took AP Calculus and found it SUPER helpful for Economics & other classes. So I would suggest that because it will help you with Stats in college also
Hi! I love your videos!! I was wondering if you could talk about yr experience as a cs minor (former cs major).
good idea! Will do
Hey is there any economics job where in I don't have to do programming??
Do economics and psychology majors at Barnard overlap in terms of classes and credits? I'm interested in doing something in both subjects and want to know what kinds of options are offered
good question! lots of majors do overlap at Barnard; I'm not sure about the specifics for Econ and psych but id def google the course directory and you can get an idea for it :)
@@mjdandnyc3193 thank you!!
How hard is it to get into the 4+1 socials sciences and operations program at Barnard?
we honestly aren't sure, neither of us know anyone who did that program or applied to it. sorry we can't answer that :( def reach out to someone at Barnard if you want specifics on how that program works!
You’re really sweet! I think Econ is a valuable major.😊
Request: What is it like to double major AND study abroad? What's the credit transfer like?
amazing idea!! I will do that
Subscribed! I currently a high school student in NY, as I am interested in taking Econ & CS in the future, so I want to do the work prior to anyone else. May I request for a book list of the textbooks that i was supposed to be looking at? That would really help me a lot.
How good are placements of eco majors after Masters from best universities, like Warwick/UCL.?
That’s a good question I’m rlly not sure’ sorry :(
@@mjdandnyc3193 please, a research 😅, and i be waiting for a reply. Also, is a economics major a good pathway for Data Science, because Economics,it involves a lot of maths and stats which is the core of data science. Except for the coding part, will economics degree be a benefit?
@@akashbhowmik7993 Instead of asking her to research for you, do it yourself. She said she doesn't know so find it out yourself
I don't believe people of all nations taxes run the countries economies, it's creativity labor and production, citizens businesses that make and run everything. That's why it's legitimate and appropriate for governments to print X amount of money for all citizens for their business enterprise, especially after working 8 or 10 or 15 years, including the amount of education one has. I believe taxes are only meant for specific items, such as pensions, social security, food stamps, welfare, and purchase of the finished product for government use.
Hello everyone, I am about to start my university in the upcoming September and right now I am choosing between a laptop or a ipad, ipad being unfamiliar but can be handy and laptop being extremely familiar with. I am not entirely sure what to expect in my economics courses regarding to its technical needs(words, excel, graphing, etc), so I can't decide which one would be more useful.
Hello! I think laptop 100%. iPads are very convenient but laptops have more storage, functions, & power and are very important/ useful for all your classes :)
What job can you get with a Economics degree
My cousin Miranda Is an economics major at University Of Dallas and runs Track she loves it
That sounds awesome :)
Hi! is it okay that im not taking an AP economics in high school because there is not enough space in my schedule.? But I am taking AP statistics
yes ofc!! any AP is good to show
What was you gpa when you graduated? If you don’t mind me asking
major gpa 3.9 and overall 3.6!
Is there any economics+sustainability oriented class,program or maybe a professor that has worked with that at barnard or columbia?
Hi Natalia! I'm not exactly sure but I believe once you get to upper levels of either sustainability majors or economics you can narrow down the scope and probably find a crossover!! (And speak to professors about specific research)
How about tax officer ( not in an airport) which major should I study?
Hi I just wanted to know how math-heavy is econ ?
Hi! Thank you so much for the video!!! I'm currently interested in business/datascience. I was wondering what your opinions are about the economics statistics program at Barnard.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! I think it is a FANTASTIC degree if you are interested in math/ finance/ more of a STEM application for your Economics degree. I only took one stats class at Columbia (intro to stats with calc) and thought it was super helpful for Econometrics and helpful for my other math classes! I give it a full green light!
@@mjdandnyc3193 oh that's great! Thank you so much!
What kind of math and how difficult they are? And what tips would you give us for this major in the math area:))) Hiii and thankk youuu
Hi!! The highest math you need is Calc 1 I believe, and then there is a stats based calc class that you have to take (or actually maybe u only need the normal stats class but I took the calc based). So not very much math!!
Thank you so much for your answers :))))
What are some examples of jobs that econ majors get into?
Work for government, go into health care, tech, finance, eduction (!), any type of consulting... just to name a few!! I really think it's one of the best things you can major in :)
@@mjdandnyc3193 Wow thanks for responding I really appreciate that!
@@Kevindude8868 of course!
Hi mam i am from india please reply how scope have in economics?
i am bad at math and i like econ . idk what i am gonna do lol
I have a video on that!!
I am actually in the last year of my high school and I am thinking of economics as my major in college but I really do not have any insight knowledge about it. I took biology as my major subj in high school cause I wanted to get into the med school but i had a change of mind and i really want to major in economics. I must say i have a love hate reln with maths.Please help me out! I really wanna know how does this subject work like is it hard? Can a biology major do it?
I took an Econ class in high school and did poorly and then LOVED economics in college! So I would say give it a shot and if it is interesting/exciting then go for it! Biology is also a very tough subject and obviously there is no overlap but if your mind feels good doing touch science it should feel good doing economics!
Why are you whispering?
We’re an ASMR channel
@Daniel Soto hehe ty
Diary of a wimpy girl
My situation is same as yours ! )
Why did you decide to withdraw from your cs classes?

@@mjdandnyc3193 thankyouu!
im interested in majoring in economics/accounting and minoring in cs or data science. Im not good at math but ill just have to work hard.
if u work hard u will be good at it! It didn't come easy for me and I love it dearly. This is a good path for you I can feel it
@@mjdandnyc3193 thank you!
Hi thanks for the video, I would love to do double major in economics and geography. is it really a good combination
