I basically got an education in software on DuPont's money because they were too stubborn to admit that a recession was coming.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.
I graduated in 2009, which - if you think back to where the economy was at that time - was an interesting time to graduate.
I was a great student at a great school, Wharton School of Finance.
I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman, and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.
I got into economics because I wanted to make things better for the average person.
Before 'Life of Pi,' I wanted to do economics. And now, I realize how bad a mistake that would have been. I just can't see it as my cup of tea anymore.
My only foray into anything stock-market-related was in my eighth grade social studies class. I have steered clear ever since.
My expertise was in public finance, particularly corporate taxation, since I had worked at the US Treasury.
I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense.
I didn't go to business school, didn't care about financial stuff and the stock market.
