0:00:01so what or and you
0:00:05i would say with my introduction to micron introduction to quicken a mix class
0:00:10i like the material was interesting i like that i the learned something in the
0:00:15classroom that i can apply only in the real world
0:00:18and the material was don't mathematical enough for the first peak my interest because i
0:00:22came it as a major
0:00:24that is really may because of its maybe be an so economics was so collected
0:00:29using the real world but it would still not good enough so that might interest
0:00:33for one
0:00:37well
0:00:41indeed
0:00:43i would probably say do a lotta ma especially if you're going to want to
0:00:46some type of graduate study like and masters or pg just because if you know
0:00:51that my background of the work that you like on their least one be easier
0:00:55just be a lot easier to remember stuff you to be able to do the
0:00:58graphs to the applications
0:01:00it's a lot easier if you have an opportunity to do that challenge even in
0:01:05high school is a high school a challenge competition that is the college version it's
0:01:09the type of experience that really enhances your academic
0:01:14experience a college and i guess the what you would do for any class which
0:01:18would be studied had both class i think with a glottal stop work
0:01:22study hackles a class to you were read the text books
0:01:26you know that really helps a lot
0:01:30recent experience you
0:01:36affect challenge is the competition where a number of colleges the college level of colleges
0:01:43a come together to do a presentation of the economy
0:01:47and you make analysis so we right now and recommendations we should go power
0:01:53i was in charge of looking at the labour so what is the unemployment rate
0:01:58what it enough for our peer will number is whatever the current work weeks
0:02:04what how a salaries looking whatever weekly earnings that was not so what it would
0:02:09do is we entirety would read articles we would
0:02:14albedo so that went on the planet report was coming out with wondering look for
0:02:19the material
0:02:22but it's again their initial grass
0:02:24because representation you need a whole points slight but once lexical with it
0:02:29and so we created graphs i would get all that is get a but the
0:02:33slides together create the slide screen the chart and therefore it's another member would
0:02:39already it
0:02:41try to the comes out strategy was to read the wall street journal everyday look
0:02:45for interesting articles and you are but website
0:02:48on the federal reserve website technically
0:02:53what this point process
0:03:01so what was what we're something
0:03:06speakers
0:03:07when
0:03:11well the first one of the composition with in november and that was their own
0:03:14that was holding your was about thirty three colleges and it's like you preliminary round
0:03:20where we all get together and you give a presentation from the preliminary round
0:03:25six schools progress that the semifinals in your and then after we progress to the
0:03:31semi finals there were four schools it was rutgers so the idea to city college
0:03:36of new jersey and piece university we weren't the files and we computed here we
0:03:42brought first in the new york district finals
0:03:46and that's what about this want to washington to compute international competition where were competing
0:03:51against a college however i northwestern
0:03:57what i where u c p channel
0:04:03see
0:04:05okay
0:04:08in
0:04:10for
0:04:12i do penance thinking that you
0:04:14i a whole thing to development economics because i am initially from ghana which is
0:04:21that a developing country
0:04:23and the eerie interestingly
0:04:25from a challenge we did a lot of monetary economics and i like monetary economics
0:04:30so that's also possibility but i believe even more so where development economic just because
0:04:36of my background where from and you know just my interest
0:04:41so hopefully so when i will be adopted by a well i seven years but
0:04:47at some point i hope to be doing a phd in economics whatever you want
0:04:52to be a professor i want the using some practical form
0:04:55we come up with models
0:04:57and do research i have economic right now
0:05:01for developing countries can accurately
