There’s a lot of shady shit going on with contractors. Our neighbors wanted to replace their counter tops, paid 75% of the job up front to “prioritize” their job with the contractor, that was 4 months ago and now they can’t get ahold of the guy…Clearly they should’ve known better, but dang…

cite your neighbor to MCL 570.152, the builders trust act.  it is a criminal offense for a contractor to not use the money given for a project for that specific project.  call the cops, report the crime.  i bet that contractor either gets on the job or finds his checkbook very quickly. 

copied here:

 Building contract fund; fraudulent detention or use by contractor or subcontractor, penalty.

Sec. 2.

  Any contractor or subcontractor engaged in the building construction business, who, with intent to defraud, shall retain or use the proceeds or any part therefor, of any payment made to him, for any other purpose than to first pay laborers, subcontractors and materialmen, engaged by him to perform labor or furnish material for the specific improvement, shall be guilty of a felony in appropriating such funds to his own use while any amount for which he may be liable or become liable under the terms of his contract for such labor or material remains unpaid, and may be prosecuted upon the complaint of any persons so defrauded, and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not less than 100 dollars or more than 5,000 dollars and/or not less than 6 months nor more than 3 years imprisonment in a state prison at the discretion of the court.

In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object".

So you’re saying to take the easy road and not challenge yourself all to get some interviews? And when they ask questions in said interviews that you’d know from the high level course you’re screwed? 
 

Just kidding, it’s all way harder than what I took in school

Oh, you can do fine with the Econ 300s and know (more than) everything necessary to work in 95% percent of the starting jobs in finance. And no interviewer will ever have the stones to try to discuss a senior Econ course with you.

Avoid, repeat avoid, the Econ 400s as an undergrad because you probably will *not ace* them (NFW) nor will you ever need them unless you want to work at the Treasury Dept.

If you do take them and you do ace them? Go directly to Wharton for your MBA (lol)

I was an Accounting major and Economics courses were falling off a log they were so easy and intuitive. Fascinating stuff.  If I could have figured out a way to make money in Economics I would have majored in that.

Finance on the other hand, was awful.

To each their own.

Caveat, I know nothing about U of M's courses as I did not go there.

Is he contemplating whether to stay or go,  whether to play or not play.  Probably shouldn’t read too much into things.  Twitter was kinda invented for posting random thoughts.
