Economists are the ones who are going to solve these problems. At my university, the Economics majors are an entirely different lot than the business/finance majors. Not sure if this is the case elsewhere, but it is here. Most of the Econ majors I know are more scholarly than anything, whereas the business majors are more concerned with personal profit. Again, this is just an observation about my particular university--it could be the opposite elsewhere. I was speaking specifically about the situation *here*--not generalizing about everyone everywhere, just so you know.
The Business Dept. of WVU is the most corrupt department in the school, and was recently involved with one of the biggest scandals we've ever seen that involved bogus MBA degrees given to students who didn't earn them. The most prominent example was the state governor's daughter, but there were other, quieter ones too. The university President actually resigned over it, and people are still highly pissed about it. That whole department is full of people who were involved in the mess, and a lot of them managed to weasel out of any accountability, so that's why I'm not exactly full of sympathy for that department losing students right now.
I certainly did not intend to insult or disrespect *you*. :hug:
