Macroeconomics
I hate macroeconomics. I'm on my second round of taking this class (the first time I dropped it because I didn't like the teacher --and so did half my original class), and I still don't like it nor has it gotten easier for me. Imagine that. Hm. I'm not a business/economic person, but because social workers should apparently know about the economy impacting the lives of clients, I'm required to take it. I don't mind knowing about inflation rates or how the Federal Reserve works. But it's the word problems that really get to me. The book isn't clearly written, so it's not easy to understand each step. And I still want to know why paper money must be backed by bullion or how the value of the dollar increases or how the stock market works. Yet, I will never know this from this class because it's all about useless word problems and relentless information about the Keynes cross. I don't care about any of it!! Call me lazy, ignorant, whatever, but I'm allowed to rant about things I don't like. And I definitely don't like macroeconomics (and I'm not going to call it by its cute little nickname that other people use: Macro. I will use its full name because I despise it so!)

Economics is really interesting. It is great to see how one thing affects another and how everything is interrelated. The economy is a stack of dominos.
