ty men))))

2019-11-13 21:19

depends in what uni u study it better uni=harder

2019-11-13 21:19

i have no idea yet tbh, rn i'm considering all the options except the most elite unis

2019-11-13 21:20

Not really. There is a gap between shitty and top ones for sure, but the middle-ones are usually as hard as the top ones. It is pretty easy to succeed once selected by top unis since you usually pay them a lot and they are supposed to make everything for you to go out with your diplomas.

2019-11-13 21:25

Pussyological titster analitic math is required in order to have a succesful grades in ur student career dear men.

2019-11-13 21:21

wassup with everyone wanting to study economics, u just count numbers all day

2019-11-13 21:23

personally i don't really know what to do with my life, so i figured i'd just study economics and try to get a comfortable enough office job or whatever

2019-11-13 21:24

yeh i also didnt know what to become

2019-11-13 21:32

dk about lithuania but in sweden there's a high influx of economists. here i wouldn't recommend it unless it's something you're really interested in

2019-11-13 21:43

yea that kind sucks but there's also an ever-increasing demand for them afaik so i should be fine especially if i study abroad and come back to lithuania later cuz foreign diplomas tend to be valued by employers in here

I have an economics minor in Uni. I guess that It depends on your course of study, but if you are doing full time economics then you will have at least some math intensive classes. If you are not really good/don't really like traditional maths, you could still pass easily the statistics class who are more about methods than hard calculations. Probabilities as well are kind of easy. But if you hate it, the algebra and calculus might be a problem. You will do a lot of it for computations, and also curve derivatives (utility, profit maximization, growth models).

2019-11-13 21:23

probability easy but hypothesis testing hard

2019-11-13 21:25

True

2019-11-13 21:28

all of that sounds good except calculus and curve derivatives, i'm scared of those lmao

2019-11-13 21:27

I understand, to me it is also the worst. But if you are really performing in other classes it should be ok, especially if you can chose some minors that suits you best.

2019-11-13 21:31

thanks men)) how exactly do minors work in europe btw? i thought that was just an american thing

2019-11-13 21:35

Maybe you don't have it in Lithuania. It doesn't exist in France as well, but right now I'm studying in Germany and they do so it depends on the country. When you pick a course of study, you will have a major (which you can't chose with a lot of mandatory classes) which will count for around 75% of your final grade, and a minor (where you have multiple choices usually) for 25%.

2019-11-13 21:38

makes sense, i don't think it's a thing in here, ty

2019-11-13 21:40

linear algebra and statistics

2019-11-13 21:24

i had some basics of micro and macro economics and I actually liked it, even though im an anti talent when it comes to math, but in econ everything made sense to me do this, get that etc. also my lecturer was good, strict, but fair

2019-11-13 21:26

Micro can be quite insane if you are not a math guy, I tried a class of econometrics then decided it was not for me.

2019-11-13 21:35

This is what we learnt, it was quite some time already, so the only thing that's stuck in my head is that we were learning about money xD I actually got a better grade from macro I believe. Course content: 1. Introduction to Macroeconomics (allowance 0/0) 2. Total Output and Income. Basic Macroeconomic Aggregates (allowance 0/0) 3. Planned Aggregate Expenditure and Equilibrium Output (allowance 0/0) 4. Money and Money Market (allowance 0/0) 5. Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply. Equilibrium in AS-AD model (allowance 0/0) 6. Principles of Economic Growth. Business Cycle (allowance 0/0) 7. Unemployment (allowance 0/0) 8. Inflation (allowance 0/0) 9. Exchange Rate. Balance of Payment (allowance 0/0) 10. Monetary Policy (allowance 0/0) 11. Fiscal Policy (allowance 0/0) 12. International Trade (allowance 0/0)

2019-11-13 22:00

studied for one semester and dropped it. what kind of math? you will probably have math classes of algebra, statistics, linear algebra, probability, business math, etc. what else should you know about? don't expect to learn how the stock markets work at uni, at least here in brazil they don't teach that, good luck!

2019-11-13 21:27

thanks :) is linear algebra hard btw? we haven't gone through that in school yet

2019-11-13 21:31

i think it is kinda hard, but you will do it, don't be afraid. Tbh maths at economics (graduation degree) are way "softer" than other courses like computer sci, engineerings, etc. you can do it

2019-11-13 21:47

nice, ty man

2019-11-13 21:50

what kind of economics? business economics? thats what im currently doing as bachelor

2019-11-13 21:28

honestly don't know yet, rn i'm just looking at anything and will prolly try to pick something that i think i'll be able to get a job with

2019-11-13 21:28

nice

2019-11-13 21:33

useless man, do u want to work in bank or what? u`ll not be businessman if u study economy, u have to have great idea and u can start business without knowledge of Economy studies

2019-11-13 21:35

Economics are vast with many specializations, it is not aimed at being "businessman" but you can find a lot of jobs in businesses. I don't think that he wishes to make a company of his own.

2019-11-13 21:41

not planning to start a business, i just wanna get a comfortable enough office job cuz idk what else to do with my life

2019-11-13 21:41

Economy has a lot of, a lot of theory, keep that in mind

2019-11-13 21:48

??? It's a huge field...

2019-11-14 00:52

Econ major here. Look up econometrics, all the math and hardest math you need to know is there.

2019-11-13 21:35

2019-11-13 21:43

i studied it and its easy. you dont need more maths than you learn in school.

2019-11-13 21:52

integrals functions matrix liner algebra was like 90%

2019-11-13 21:53

I am currently doing the other way arounds; means I study for my MSc degree in Mathematics and we have some applications in Economics. It's really interesting tbh.
