UFC Featherweight fighter receives Bachelor’s Degree in Economics

[Bluehefner]

how does a ufc fighter , and got his balls caught in a drill, get a degree in economics? this must be a joke, otherwise they just handing them out like candy at parade.

I hope he isn't dumb enough to think ufc is going to pay him more now with that degree.

Lmao he’s gonna demand Dane to raise his pay since he’s more qualified lol

Not finance nor accounting type of hard but pretty decent degree ( better than my useless business management degree lol).Hespect.

 

[MRT]

One of the easiest degrees you can get.

Well that did not take long...the first response is someone marginalizing his accomplishment. This place is a cesspool of d-bags lol

FWIW (not you are likely care, assuming you would even understand), depending upon his course selection, it would be far from "one of the easiest degrees you can get".

Expect him to retire very soon. At least his degree will help him earn more than his current job.

Shit. That's worth less than a Liberal Arts degree from Texas Tech. People laugh at Hardon University and not in a good way.

Didn't take long to tear a guy down.

Sherdog at it's best.

crabs in a bucket mentality. What a fucking loser that guy.

Degrees are the best way to discriminate against people

Totally
Those bastards won’t let me do brain surgery without one

Economics major realizes 10/10 isn’t a financial windfall.

 

[MRT]

Economics really is very easy compared to many of the other common options. But its stil an accomplishment.

It depends upon the courses chosen (as is the case with many degrees).

An economics major could choose to focus on econometrics, for example (which is basically stats). Relatively speaking, most people would not consider that to be 'easy'

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

Where did you get that from?

he's obviously trolling or just some guy that doesnt know much about degrees
wonder if he actually has one

How many smart fighters are there in UFC today?

I’m down. Sherdog Shot time? I’ll throw one down with ya. Anyone else feel free to join. I got cheap vodka on deck. What drank you got on deck? Cheers! No joke btw, I’m sending out an olive branch.

Im a bourbon drinker. JD, Evan williams, Wild turkey, forrester. Ive got some green label Jack on deck.

It's not a job, it's an opportunity

Nope. Easily the hardest social science degree - the only one where calculus is a necessity. If you pursue Econ at a graduate level, it’s essentially an applied math degree with as many brutal math classes as any engineering degree.

Really? It seems logical since the economy can be very dynamic.
Computers have really made the MEs life easy. We are just lazy bums that are software dependent. lol

Yellowed up bein a dummy fuckin with trolls and engaging them lowering myself. I own it. Lesson learned.

 

[Billthebutcher]

is this something else that Buffer will have to announce during his bloated fighter introductions?

Yeah, sometimes the best response is no response with the troll. I have typed out sentences before and just deleted it instead of hitting send. Have a safe one.

and where calculus will 99% not be used in the work setting. Just shows how impractical the education system can sometimes (or many times) be.

Sure, tons of jobs don’t require anything beyond basic math acumen, but a solid, quantitative econ degree (or other math-intensive degree) sets you up for LOTS of great high-paying career options; be it quantitative marketing, finance, litigation, public policy, analytics, mgmt/econ consulting, etc. Not to mention the graduate degrees it sets you up for quite nicely; doctoral work in nearly any social science, mba programs, jd programs, etc.

My post wasn’t to discredit anyone doing manual labor. I know hard work is how countries are built and it’s appreciated. Apologies if that came off shitty.

nah, i wasn't offended. i'm agreeing with you. getting a degree isn't something you should shame people over. i don't look at the jobs i worked as bad tho, i just know it's not for everyone.

Harding University is ranked #240 in National Universities.

Degree in economics, still can't spell on a 3rd grade level.

Well, his degree isn't in literature.
