Depends on world or U.S.! I'm one of the rare social teachers that likes economics best and government next. Lol, then geography, psychology and sociology, then history. Haha. I love WWI and the Civil War, also women's rights movement!

I teach in Minnesota! Most schools do that too, in 12th grade do first semester government and second economics, or vice versa. We allow the kids to take it junior or senior year.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
