Answer:
"Grandpa, can I have more pocket money? I have spent it all last week." "Where did you spend it?" "Hum... Food, presents, clothes, movies, gas..." "The pocket money that I gave you two weeks ago was your monthly allowance and you spent it all within a week? If you are not going to manage your allowance properly, you are not going to receive any more allowance." Everything in our life ranging from managing our own money to investment banking involves economics. As my goal is to establish a company which involves international trade or at least to be involved in an international trade, choosing economics as my major will provide me sufficient knowledge that is required to be a successful businessman.
Besides that, my interest in Mathematics has also led to pursue my major in economics. I believe that an interest in Mathematics will enhance the learning of economics as both of them are related. In fact, the application of Mathematics to economics forms an essential part of the development of economics literature. For example, the notions of existence, cardinality, stability and optimality of equilibria are formalized by the use of basic conceptual vocabulary of calculus, analysis and point-set and differential topology.
Moreover, the department of Economics in University of Southern California offers a research in economics course for undergraduate program. With this, I will have the opportunity to find an area of research and conduct a research. While learning economic theories are important, having the capability of analyzing issues concerning about real world economics is more important for an economic student. Enrolling in this course enables me to find an issue about the world's economy and thus analyze it.
When talking about economics, University of Southern California has a significant economic impact. With the extensive number of visitors attracted by the University of California every year, it helps to boost the economic growth. It also created thousand of jobs for people. As the first American research university, the discoveries of University of California research organizations have benefited the world and more importantly it has an economic impact closer to itself.
