Why study Economics?

You may be asking yourself, why should  I study economics?  Here are the top reasons:

1. Economists are armed and dangerous: "Watch out for our invisible hands."

1. Economists can supply it on demand.

3. You can talk about money without ever having to make any.

4. Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwartzenegger both studied economics and look how they turned out.

5, When you are in the unemployment line, at least you will know why you are there.

6. If you rearrange the letter in "ECONOMICS", you get "COMIC NOSE".

7. Although ethics teaches that virtue is its own reward, in economics we get taught that reward is its own virtue.

8. When you call 1-900-LUV-ECON and get Kandi Keynes, you will have something to talk about.
