ECON Resource Guide
ENHANCE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ECONOMICS!
Economics is one of the top 15 most-studied majors in college,
even surpassing Chemistry and Math, yet shockingly,
most teenagers have limited exposure to the field.
Their understanding is often confined to a single required class,
typically taken in late high school and focused on financial literacy.
For students who are eager to delve deeper, opportunities can be scarce.
