Meet an Economics and Entrepreneurship Student Steven Carlile, a graduate of Wasatch High School, states, "The experiences I had in my high school economics class have been a great asset in my work and a springboard as I have continued my education. My first college economics professor was very impressed with the skill and knowledge of economics I had gained during high school. I was always able to answer his questions and complete assignments correctly, and was at the top of the class because of my economics background from high school."
Steve was enrolled in Economics during his senior year, for which he received three semester hours of concurrent enrollment credit. During this course, Steven was introduced to basic economic concepts and was able to apply those concepts as he participated in both the Utah Economic Challenge and the Utah Stock Market Game™, where his teams placed third and sixth, respectively.
Steven is currently attending Utah Valley State College and working
at NuSkin while finishing his bachelor’s degree. “In my
work at NuSkin, I constantly use economics concepts and principles.
I have noticed that when a new policy or change comes along, my perception
and understanding of why this is happening is more in-depth. When we
are in meetings, I am able to ask better questions to get to the heart
of a problem. I am also able to explain to clients the reasoning behind
changes that are taking place, because of my economics background.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to study economics in high
school; it continues to give me a distinct advantage in pursuing my
goals and dreams for the future.”
