Economics
I have always been interested in people. I have the gift of patience, and I want to hear what everyone has to say. A particular consideration as to how people think and behave has been ingrained in me. As someone who thinks about the world in terms of systems, a natural fascination with the macroscopic structures that emerge from independent decisions of many individuals took hold; as it turns out, that curiosity is one of the primary interest of economists. In my third and final year at Washington State University, I decided I wanted to get a second bachelor degree in quantitative economics. It fit me like a glove, a perfect blend of philosophy, history, statistics, mathematics, systems thinking, and optimization; it was a change of pace and a whole new set of faces that wanted to spend the weekend together.
