I said Degree in Business with a minor in Psychology. I can understand you making fun of education or knowledge. You seem to have a natural aversion to it.

dra007 Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Perhaps you thought it ironic and irony makes you laugh? Perhaps, only in this case irony would have to be drastically redefined! PS.

Degrees in Business (minor in Psychology), Law (specializing in Contract Law) and Engineering (specializing in Industrial Engineering), but Economics is of great interest to me (took several courses in it) - a bit of a "dismal science" that adjusts readily to facts - when the theory doesn't match the actual events as they occur, but a "noble science" when it comes to the hypothetical inference for evaluation. If you want a "friendly" disagreement, ask two Economists the same question. My "business" is actually that of "actuarial science". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
