How to go about getting student loans
I wasn't able to fit into any economics classes in high school and am now freaking out about what sources to use for receiving student loans. I know that I am going to need something as my current scholarships aren't fully covering my education and I currently have no money to pay and my parents are not supporting me financially. I don't know which loans would be best suited to avoid debt later on, I don't know what rates are best, I don't know if I should trust variable rates, and I'm honestly just so clueless, so a quick run-down about how to approach this would be wonderful. #finance #economics #scholarships #student-loans #loans

Is a business major necessary or recommended for someone who wants to go into business?
I'm interested in eventually going into Business (as in running my own business). I currently have an online numismatics business, but hope to go through college and ramp up my business all the while. Some people have told me that while studying business as an undergraduate, one will learn just things that can be learned in 6 months on the job, so it is more worthwhile to study history or economics for example. Others have told me that business undergraduate degrees are very valuable. To be specifc, I'm enrolled to attend Notre Dame and am wondering whether to continue in the business school, or leave the business school to study economics. Notre Dame does have the best undergraduate business school in the U.S., but the counterargument is that there aren't many undergraduate business schools in the country. #college #business #professor #finance #economics
