Economic Class

Recently in my economic class I brought in a guest speaker Josh from the owners of Slim & Chubby's in Fond du Lac which is located downtown on Main Street. We learned a lot of information that goes behind the scenes of running a tavern. It was a change of pace by having a guest speaker. At times economics is hard for me to understand because some of the terms used do not relate to my major. As Josh began using words that we could use to understand things, everything became a lot clearer. Real-life scenarios can make any topic easier to comprehend especially in the economic world. Afterwards we had a better understanding of why certain products in a tavern can cost more than a grocery store or another bar. Running any type of business has its pros and cons. The most important thing to remember about making a profit is that it does not happen overnight, and instead it takes time to grow. I am looking forward for other students in class to bring in guest speakers to talk about economics in other careers. Stay tuned for more exciting events as the semester is drawing to an end.
