Recently, a change has been made in which the economics class is no longer interchangeable with personal finance and has become the only way to get the credit required for graduation. This change has negatively impacted many people’s plans and schedules.
Some people like this change, however. Camden O. ‘26 is one of these people. He states “I kind of like what they’re doing. In economics, you learn basically how our economic system works and other economic systems work, compared to personal finance where you learn about yourself and what to do financially.”
However, this change has negatively impacted many others. One who believes they have been at least somewhat negatively affected by this is Zachariah G. ‘27. Zach states “Although I most likely would have taken economics over personal finance, it would have been nice to have the choice after looking into the complexity of these classes and see which one would be a better fit for me.”
In all, this change seems to be good in some people’s eyes, seeing as people have to learn about other economic systems, and negative in others, seeing as they have less control over what they have in their schedule.
