Description
Deborah Amdor writes, “When I entered the college in 1968, I knew I wanted to work in the business world but did not want to be a Business Administration major. In my high school economics class, the theories and principles of economics seemed to apply so much to everyday life decisions and were based on common sense. At that time, the opportunity lost costs of a female getting a college degree outweighed the potential increased income. Fortunately, that has changed over the years.”
