Thanks man. I appreciate a lot what you do. That's quite deplorable that so many people don't know whether or not their minors are paired with each other. On top of that, being terrified about our future doesn't help... I started off with international econ major and keep developing my english knowledge so I could freely speak in most contries. As I'm so eager about english and probably data science I think that I may need to take data science courses in english! It's gonna be cool! I hope it pairs well so I could be in demand on market. I'm planning on getting a masters in international econ.
Your videos encouraged me to major in Economics. Although our curriculum does not have a provision for us to minor in other disciplines, I study Korean in my free time and I recently got a certification for it. I feel validated that you included foreign languages in this video. Kudos!
Im so glad u made this video I was scared to do an econ minor but now I 've seen how its a great major I might make my marketing minor now and econ major.
A good econometrics class will beat most marketing classes you take. Good call.
Oh man!
You are just amazing. My research interest is development economics. I have taken the cliometric course. Now I'm facing a dilemma whether to take an elective course (VAR) or not. I just came directly to your channel to seek some help. Though this video is not the solution, but your words are always interesting and makes me feel stress free. Thanks man, thanks a lot. Take my love and respect ❤❤❤
Thank u so much for making this video! It's super helpful. I really appreciate ur time and effort to make this
Dude, i needed this channel 2 yrs ago lol. Using ur vids to shape my senior year schedule tho
This helps me so much! Thanks a lot!
This whole video I was planning on leaving a comment to the effect of "Surprised that a Music minor wasn't on the list." I guess it falls under the umbrella of classes I'm interested in. I've really been enjoying the music in some of your newer videos. Great work!
Totally right! In fact, taking music classes is probably pretty underrated because employment prospects aren't great. But if you're majoring in economics and already have great career paths open, and if you have the space to take extra classes, then develop those music interests!
There are plenty of people in quarantine realizing that they should have developed hobbies like playing music.
Nice video. Doing a BA in economics which is so flexible in my school. I have so much space I can minor in CS math and stats which I am. Just finished my first year and taking my first CS and stats course this fall. Supper excited!
That's a powerful combination. You'll create a lot of opportunity when you graduate.
Awesome! I am going to major in econ and stat and minor in CS as well! I would love to talk sometime. My number is 2012478295. I was wondering if I should major in math or Stat and which one is a better tool for econ.
Great video.
I have an associate's degree in Music. I'm a bit on the older side, at 30, but am thinking of going back to school to complete an economics degree(not sure if I'll minor in something or what the right choice is) . I would love to get a degree in economics while leaning more into the social-economic aspect.
Your videos are very helpful. I'm still doing a lot of research but am enjoying the journey.
I'm so happy see your comment!
My current plan is to double major in econ and stat and minor in CS. I was wondering if math or stat is more useful to apply to economics. (Math major is slightly different from stat major).
damn, this video gave motivation to find different degree combinations:D currently thinking about that minor in business
Excellent! This was really helpful to convince my son. Thank you
I’m planning on doing Economics and Environmental Resource Engineering because I’m planning on going into development economics
heyyy im an economics uni student and would love to see a video on different career paths economics can help with. im doing psych as an elective and want to try and combine those two, like hr, or setting up a private practice as a psychologist. But I want to see what other options are possible!
I'm an Economic Sciences major with a minor in Mathematics. I'm planning on getting a masters in either computer science or data science. I really wanted to look at economics from a quantitative data driven way because I'd like to pursue economic research.
Awesome! I am going to major in econ and stat and minor in CS. I would love to talk sometime. My number is 2012478295. I was wondering if I should major in math or Stat and which one is a better tool for econ.
@@bigboi9049 yo bro you shouldn't put your number out on the internet like that... There are some horrible people out there
Good day to you Mr. Teacher,
I'd like to share with you one question that might turn into a relevant topic to talk about in the future.
For a little backstory, I'm 24 years old, and I have just applied to a Internation Economics undergrad course.
I've been working internationally for the past few years, but I've decided that time has come to double down on those mental gainz and study something that interests me, but also allows me for interesting career opportunities - that being Economics.
Now, onto the topic:
Would you say that Economics is Data Analytics, but with a focus on society, money and goods?
The more I read about Economics, the more I feel that this is the case, and I'd love to hear your perspective on this!
Thank you for your time,
Looking forward towards you reply!
that is a very nice video . i am glad i watched it . i want to know about the kind of jobs and salaries i could get with the combination of economics and computer science . hoping you would reply to this comment , thank you.
Our Bsc in Economics and Finance has no electives and all the courses are compulsory so like from third year we take courses like research methods, monetary economics, managerial economics, financial economics, financial risk management, international trade , entrepreneurship and innovation, development economics, strategic management, organizational theory management, investment and portfolio management, public finance and taxation, economics dissertation, lease and project financing, international finance, political economics, advanced econometrics
I follow you from Haiti🙃I am studying Economics too
I took data engineering as a minor :)
Hey any advice for a junior double majoring in economics and risk management and insurance? I know I want go to grad school too and would like to do something with Econ and CS. Thank you!!
I’m thinking of doing a Psychology minor with my Economics degree
Hi, I'm currently doing a Econ major and I was planning on doing a minor in Big Data Technology. Do you think that would be a good combination?
A year late but… The answer is: Yes, it would be. Big Data Tech is not far from Data Science at all. Good luck to you!
Environmental / Agricultural Science could work as well depending on how interested you are in them. Econ is everywhere!
That's a good point. People underestimate economics in environmental policy, but economics has significantly contributed to the discussion and hols a lot of the solutions.
Glad that I am majoring in math & Econ
I wish this video was released when I had to choose a minor in 2018. I went for Development Studies, i would have gone for political science or psychology instead
Yeah I’m thinking of switching to Econ and marketing minor
One of the technical skills you mentioned was math. I really like physics and that does that develop math skills. Could that work as a minor?
love your content! probably should do something about that line noise though!
I’m really considering minoring in either Spanish or Japanese because I love both languages and I think they’d help me in the future
Go with spanish. You can do business in Latin America and Spain
@@mikegfl6680 Now I know English and German languages at B2 level. But I want to learn to other third language. Which language is suitable for an economics students and what you thinking about this issue? Thanks in advance.
@@cburakyilmaz4383 Manderine
@@mikegfl6680 are u serious? This is not a common language in the world. Why you told me this?
@@cburakyilmaz4383 Because they are a population of over 1 billion and is in globally the most spoken langauge behind english. And they are projected to be ahead of the usa in economics.
Can you please make a video on Economics research paper? Especially for students who are just starting into their degree so don’t have the knowledge of all the statistical tools etc used.
Agree this sentiment
Hey did you got started with this? I'm currently in a same situation
I have so many electives left in my program, I will definitely take a minor in math we don't have data science in my school. I'm interested in financial engineering and data analysis.
Math's a good choice.
You might want to take a finance class that covers portfolio theory, not sure if you will have the prereqs tho.
On the math side, it would be good to see if your college has a stochastic calculus class. It's typically taken after the full calc 1-3 sequence and a calculus based probability course.
All those classes would be very beneficial/borderline required for financial engineering. Look at prereqs for masters in f.e. to inform any extra class choices, make sure you get enough math, then get as much finance as you can.
Im applying to university this year and I have a fondness for philosophy but im not if its gonna help me (in terms of job propects and advancing economic thinking) if i take a joint honours with philosophy and economics. Could you help give me some insight?
I’m either doing international business or data science
What minor do you think provides the most options? I want to keep my grad school and employment prospects open. I'm currently minoring in mathematics.
The school I'm interested in combined, more or less, economics and political science majors. They have a BA in political economy and government. I'm interested in helping poor and marginalized families achieve the pursuit of happiness.
We mess with our economies too much, which hurts everyone but it devastates the poor the most. We effectively create dire poverty and homelessness in too many of our cities with bad public policy.
What do you think of business economics?
Hello! Do you think it's good to have a minor in economics? I am majoring in banking and finance.
Recently,I have watched your videos about Economics.
Can I take ECONOMICS COURSE although I'm not good in math?
I’m also thinking of doing a minor in math. Though I’m thinking of not going to graduate school. Any suggestions on classes that are very applicable to economics, specifically higher level math?
Graduate schools want students to take Real Analysis classes because economic theorists use those skills to build models and prove properties about them. For students who don't plan on going to graduate school, I'm not sure which classes are the best. Real Analysis/Topology are still good classes for learning to think deeper and develop logic skills. The types of classes most relevant to economics today are going to be anything in machine learning.
Hey, I'm a french speaking canadian looking to go back to school in economics and mathematics... I really love your channel and was surprised that you learned french !
What university will you go to? I’m Canadian as well.
@@cael2384 hey, i'll go at Laval University since i'm from Québec. What about you ?
@@vincentrobitaille4564 nice, I am considering McGill and Ottawa. I am english from ontario but I have a decent level of french and I would like to go somewhere where I can keep practicing it. I guess Laval could be an option too but I don’t know if I could handle 100% of my classes in french
@@cael2384 hey, i think it's a really good idea for you to keep on learning french ! I think Laval University is a really good option for that since you will be fully immersed in french. It's going to be rough in the begging (not gonna lie) but I think it could be worth it. It's also good if you are interested to do a semester in Europe since alot of good programs and schools are in France, Belgium and Switzerland !
Oh also, I learned a good part of my english while I was living in New Brunswick (was in the military).
@@cael2384 feel free to contact me at vincent.robitaille@hotmail.com ! We could keep in touch !
Thank you
Thanks for the video! Do you think it's wise to have a major in economy and minor in IT? Or to concentrate fully on economy courses? I have the option to read a hybrid programme here in Sweden with 55% economy and 45% IT. Master of none? Jack of all trades?
I think that's great. Pure economic is like good but what's really on the market right now is technical degrees and skills.
you are a legend sir
1. math 2. statistics 3. psy 4. pol science 5. computer science 6. business 7. history
What maths courses or specialities should I prioritize if I want to major in economics? What do you think about the Phd in economics? Do you think that im the carrers of economics they only theach Keynesian models?
You'll want at least up to Calc III, Linear Algebra, and some Real Analysis courses. If you have time, you can do Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, or Topology.
An Econ PhD program is usually targeted at producing economics professors. If that's what you want to do, then it's the only path. But if you're interested in other careers, an Econ PhD might not be as valuable as starting in your field and getting job experience.
You are a gem
You're breathtaking.
what do you think about prelaw or philosophy?
Is it okay if I take a major in business analytics and minor in economics instead?
My plan is a dbl major in econ and finance
I was going to minor in Finance but after watching this video, I think I will keep just an economics degree with no minor and just take classes of my interest. I want to travel, what traveling economic job is out there for somebody like me, I already speak two languages, working in the third one.
I'm not sure about a traveling economics job, but there are certainly many jobs available for people with solid economics training and a willingness to work in other countries.
I’d add nonprofit/development jobs to the travelling professions list. I attended international boarding schools and love travelling and understanding a region/culture through the lenses of economics.
How do you know which to choose?
should i concentrate in quantitative or qualitative econ?
Hey Im planning on doing economics and sociology (joint major) bad idea?
I’m pursuing Economics and History, but planning on minoring in Education- does Econ and Education go hand to hand?
No
Lol I began as a creative writing major and now I’m an Econ major with an English minor. Is that a good pairing?
That's a route I'm considering. Econ major for the vocation and English Lit for writing fiction on the side.
Depends on what you’re wanting to do after college. If you want to become an economic policy analyst, then it’s great. If you want to become a quant, not so much.
Honestly, im sticking to fine arts lol
Please make the world more beautiful!
Lmfaoooo
confused between choosing math minor or stat minor with econ major
I recently started with Economics honors and took CS has my minor
Planning to do the same thing. What have been your thoughts? I'm deciding between double major CS & Econ or Econ Honours with minor CS. Big passion for Econ.
Awesome! I am going to major in econ and stat and minor in CS. I would love to talk sometime. My number is 2012478295. I was wondering if I should major in math or Stat and which one is a better tool for econ.
i am 15 years old and i am deciding my course of study and i am thinking about acturial science and economics is it a good degree and will there be good pay
Actuaries have pretty good career options. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the job will grow much faster than most careers, and it has pretty high pay. Hold the course!
I mean, do you enjoy the kind of math that actuaries do? Have you actually met with some actuaries? Done some job shadowing?
Picking a career just because of salary projections is a foolish way to chart the course of one's life. If you don't feel like you fit in with that field, you'll burn out in just a few years and never make the lifetime earnings of that line of work. If you have a passion for it, then go for it. But either way, please reach out to actual actuaries and get some hands-on experience first!
I am doing bachelor's in journalism and mass communication. I want to know, am i eligible for doing masters in economics & journalism?
History or political science which will be best
I am doing n interdisciplinary major in econ and finance. Would an international relations minor make sense with it?
International relations is a common companion. Do you need a minor? If not, just take classes you're interested in.
I am doing B.S Econ with a minor in Stats and a concentration in Data Analytics. What would my job prospects look like?
They look really good. Do a Google search for "tech economist" or "data economist."
@@MarketPowerYT Thank you so much and yes I will look into it!
what about cognitive science as a minor?
Do you think Finance is a good double major to do with Economics?
It's a common double major where I teach.
Would finance be a good major along with economics, also do you have other social media
I am on Twitter (marketpoweryt).
At my school, lots of students double major in economics and finance. They're very similar and complement each other well.
If I'm looking to go to graduate school as an econ student should I minor in math or comp sci? I like the job opportunities comp sci pulls but I heard that math is basically a requirement for grad school
It's true that math is a requirement. You might be able to get away with just taking the necessary classes. You have to do Calculus III and Linear Algebra, and most programs want you to do some form of Real Analysis (talk to your department). But there are a lot of math classes you don't need (e.g. Abstract Algebra). And on the margin I think the CS classes could be more valuable. Chat with an adviser and see what they say.
@@MarketPowerYT Thank you so much!!
Hello, Would you say adding math degree worth the stress? I am four classes away from my math major but I just have no interest in proof classes anymore. Instead, would minor in statistics be more useful? Thank you :)
Hi I'm an incoming freshman this year and I'll take an AB in Economics degree. Just curious, what are the implications of taking AB compared to BS in Economics? Is AB an inferior degree?
See my reply in the other video.
@@MarketPowerYT Thanks for the reply!! Just subbed to your channel, hoping for more content soon! :))
what about a philosophy minor
Can I minor in law after majoring in economics??
What's difference between management economics and just economics?
Management will have a few businesses classes in it, and sometimes it's not as math intensive. But in other cases it could be a normal economics degree in the business school.
I believe minors in math, statistics, CS, finance and politics are the best.
Is it possible to get a masters in economics if you got your bachelors in business administration?
Yeah, Masters programs accept from a broader selection of majors. The bigger issue is there aren't a lot of masters programs in economics.
You should take all this information to Haiti 🇭🇹
Is a computer science minor going to help me get a decent job paired with my economics major or should I look else where?
Economics and computer science is the biggest area of growth right now. Google "tech economist."
I changed my major from Economics to Business Economics and double-majored in History. How screwed am I?
How’d u end up doing
You're the best
Thanks, and I hope to get better every week. I appreciate your support!
@@MarketPowerYT can you please make video on American Economis education system. I am an Indian and have no idea at what levels and at what topics are taught in America schools. I aspire to do my ms(postgraduation )in America thus if possible kindly give me basic idea , in comparing different schools.
@@vinayakansajeev I'll have to think through that one. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am doing economics and accounting...
I am saying while watching the video... Hope he talked about mine.😂😂😂
I had a Philosophy minor since I unknowingly completed it.
@Apache Helichopper It was fun. If you have the chance to take Bioethics or something similar, take it. To me, that was the most fun.
Seems really interesting to relate economics with economics
I am thinking of doing econ major with korean as my minor
If u just wanna learn korean language u can take it as a course in college and choose a much beneficial minor instead
What if statistics is under your Econ major already
If you like those classes and want to dive deeper, consider a statistics minor.
I think Geography is also a good minor for Economic
I can’t decide between comp sci and Econ
You can always double major if they both interest you equally, it’ll be a lot of work but you can get the best of both worlds, and because of how well they complement each other you’ll likely have the upper hand compared to other students. Obviously, though, it’s a huge commitment financially and time wise.
With econ you get a lot of electives so double majoring in both econ and CS is a good choice if you have the grades
Me neither, I would double major, but unfortunately in my country it doesn't work that way, I can't start more than one degree per year. So I really have to choose between the two before the end of the year.
Try Econometrics although I’m probably too late
is economics and business management joint honours good
It can be!
You should upload more videos.
Next one drops in two days.
@@MarketPowerYT thanks. What you thinking about University Of İstanbul in Turkey. I am from Turkey and I won this University. My departmen is economics(%100 English). I completed the prepsratory class. I am first class right now. Thanks in advance.
I thought sociology would be a good one too
Definitely. It would probably belong to the third group, academic couriosity, along with psychology.
Well I think u can see ge took foreign language
Can i be a financial analyst with an economics major if so what minor should i take?
You totally can. A lot of finance companies are looking for people with coding skills, so maybe something that will help you develop them.
@@MarketPowerYT what are your thoughts on a marketing minor with Econ? I know you mentioned it in the video but have you ever taken any marketing classes? How useful is it?
@@Lazymath007_ Good combo. You can use the analytics skills you get from economics and apply them to marketing. A lot of marketing is just behavioral economics.
@@MarketPowerYT Thank you so much! I just subscribed :D
@@MarketPowerYT Hi Professor , should I do Business Econ major with minor in Investment ( Concentration of Finance ), I want to go straight to work after grad and only want to go to graduate school 4-5 years after working in industry. Which kind of jobs do you think are best for me, thank you so much.
Do u think a minor in public health is good since healthcare economics is a growing field?
Yeah, that could be a great combination! I need to do a video on health economics.
How about minor in French
Vous pouvez le faire!
5:30 why did you say that :(
I took sociology as a minor (am I in good hands?)
Sociology matches that group at the end: minors that complement the intellectual curiosity. I took a sociology class and it helped me see how other disciplines examine the same issues as economists.
Market Power Thank you for the feedback. I highly appreciate it❤️
So if I had majored in econ, I could've hooked up with minors? :P
your eye ball is scary!!!!
