The State of my Economics Education

As my second to last semester in my undergraduate studies comes to an end I am compelled to check on the status of my education. What have I discovered? I LOVE industrial organizations. Hopefully I can do some sort of graduate school for this. I think I enjoy it so much because it feels applicable and relevant. Also the subject matter is more fun than basically any other class I have taken. I don't know of another class where you get to play games (albeit game theory), or discover why monopolists act the way they do. The only other classes I like are my labor economics class and economic development class. I am endlessly excited to do econometrics next semester. I get to pick one other economics class to take before they cut me off from econ classes, I registered for topics in microeconomics since I am partial to micro. I have debated taking money and banking systems but I think topic in micro will help me put perspective on what I have learned. On a note different from economics, I'm taking a class called the social construction of sexuality which I have heard numerous good things about. Also my brother and I may take an elective together, it should be fun.

At this point the debate of whether to go to grad school or not is still undecided.
