I have my my last exam in 2 hours and after that, I'll have a bachelors of business administration. I had macroeconomics, microeconomics and everything in between and still don't know shit. I had to google austerity myself when talks about it started in Quebec.

I feel like the world is economist's lab where they create and dismiss theories as they go along. ¨Oops, hyperinflation - let's try x because last time we did y and it made things worse! ¨

I took microeconomics and macroeconomics, accounting, numerous business accounting classes and have a degree in business management. I know enough go to know that nobody knows what they're talking about with certainty. It's not a science. It is at the mercy, largely of emotion and not logic.

I would love to hear how your exam went. I hope you did well.
