    Various Commerce Degrees - Pros/Cons, Student Experiences

    Can economic analysis reliably predict anything though? In a science if what is observed does not correlate to theory then the theory is ripped down and started again, instead of getting the basics right economists build their 'complex' models on top of foundations that are meaningless...

    Various Commerce Degrees - Pros/Cons, Student Experiences

    Do economics so you can pretend that you can model incredibly complex systems based on moronic simplifying assumptions and working around an idea of equilibrium when in fact the real economy is in an infinite state of disequilibrium. ceteris paribus my ass.. Ricardian equivalence my ass...

    How many pages worth of notes do you write each lecture?

    I rarely take any notes, since the required readings are before the lecture anyway if I attend it is just to hear the content again from a different perspective. A lot of people write down 'notes' of dot points, draw diagrams, etc. etc. that are available online with the lecture notes anyway..

    what do i have to get?

    If you get 99.95 I wouldn't bother doing a bachelor of prime minister studies, you could get into a bachelor of money course, the average graduate earns about $2million in their first year so that's definitely the go.

    Do you work and study?

    IMO work as much as you need to in order to pay the bills and buy things you want within reason, I see little point trying to save 5k or 10k a year at the detriment of your study when if you get good results any graduate job is just going to blitz all those years of late nights at Woolworths...
