I second this as a possible good idea. If you know enough about business and you can gather enough people to make something happen in the chapest, most *economically<a href=“ha!”>/i</a> possible, then this can turn into something great, especially if it involves another aspect that you like (i.e. you like fashion, so you sell clothes or whatever).</p>
<p>Also, look into your CC’s Mathematics Dept. Sometimes Math professors are involved with modeling that can also apply to economics and they may let you in on some stuff. Also, Math professors sometimes get together in large groups to contribute to writing/editing math textbooks, which may have a relation to the economics in math etc. (i.e. statistics or modeling). Same might go with the Business Dept.</p>
<p>You can also try to be a part-time teller at your local credit union. My credit union is always accepting teller applications and I see new faces in there all the time, probably accounting, finance, or econ students looking for work exp too.</p>
<p>If you’re really hurting for something to put on your resume, then join the school’s Economics club, and if they don’t have one, then get it started. This can also be fun if you’re starting it because you can take it any way you want and schedule events as you’d like them (i.e. a weekly pow-wow of econ interested students discussing the recent issue of The Economist or otherwise discussing relevant economic issues and brainstorming solutions yada yada yada.</p>
