I have a degree in Econ. I like to study how money moves around behind the scenes and incentivizes action. That's why I love the blockchain.
I didn't go into an economic specific field because I felt like most of the models they used were pseudo science at best. I did go into real estate and the stock market because that's where I could see real economics taking place. So, in short, I shunned the "economics" career path.
