<p>kfc4u - Just a thought on that unpleasant microeconomics course. I was an Econ major in college and also have a Stanford MBA. I didn’t care for microeconomics in college. Had to take it again at Stanford, and even tho I have always been a top student, I did NOT find it easy (while I of course figured I should have cruised through it). Something about that subject matter just doesn’t agree with me. OTOH, I really love economics and macroeconomics was both more interesting and easier for me. IMHO, macro is the field of econ which will be more relevant to poli sci, international relations, business etc. So don’t rule out more econ and business courses.</p>
<p>I do agree with stephable that there is a time when your parents’ preferences for you to stay in California (and preferably not go into downtown LA etc. :eek:) have to take backstage to what YOU want. Do what you want with your career and you will find a way, if you are a loving child which it sounds like you are, to help them accept it, I believe.</p>
