<p>This thread is pretty interesting :). Now I’m sorry if this stereotype is wrong, but I always considered econ and business majors to be the cause of much of this planet’s demise and degradation. I know that it is wrong to stereotype, but the mindset of an economist is that they will not do something that is not profitable. Charity is not profitable, and neither is sustainability, so in many ways, I find that while these two majors can generate quite a bit of wealth if you get a job with the bureaucracy or with some massive corporation, what exactly do you contribute to humanity? I am studying to become a marine conservationist because I care more about protecting my planet than commodifying it. I don’t mean to flame, I just would like to hear your opinions so that I might not wrongly apply this perceived stereotype to all Econ and business majors :)</p>
<p>I also find it interesting that we also take similar math courses. I’m no math major, but I’m in my third semester of calculus and I might take linear algebra eventually just to see if I can do it.</p>
