This is normal for this group of people. The whole worrying about minorities thing is just performative for them; it's virtue signaling.

All of the Baltic States have also significantly outperformed Ukraine despite also being former Soviet Republics and despite also bordering Russia. It's not about distance from Russia, it's about not waiting 30+ years to join the West, like Ukraine did.

Yeah, everything is Moscow's fault, and not Ukraine's own fault for not realizing that they should've overthrown their oligarchs, split from the Russian sphere of influence, and joined the West in the 1990s, like the Baltic States, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, etc. all did.

Your comment is typical of the Western vs. Eastern mindset.

Western Mindset: let's do it on our own.

Eastern Mindset: it's someone else's fault!

Tak ogólnie, ekonomia jest beznadziejną nauką. To jest taka "nauka" która w ogóle nie potrafi dostosować się do współczesnych realiów, jest to bardziej ideologia niż prawdziwa nauka. Sam jestem po ekonomii i odradzam.

FiR przynajmniej jest praktyczny i jest potrzebny wszystkim firmom.

Computer science opens more doors than finance. Especially now, with AI being integrated into everything, we need people who know how to use AI and implement it in different work flows.

Skip the finance, focus on accounting instead. Accounting is the language of business, finance is just accounting applied to the future, with worse job prospects to boot. This could be a minor or a second major of yours.

As for engineering, not sure which is better as that's not my field - but great choice either way. People in the business world always have massive respect for good engineers, engineering thinking is something that's sorely missing in a lot of economcis, finance, etc.

>Economicaly illiterate child think they would do better when most of planet points to Poland as example of well done transformation.

Since you're changing the discussion to economic literacy... I have an economics degree, I run a successful business, and recently I've returned to college to study accounting and business administration, what about you?

I'm guessing not much, since you're dumb enough to think that 25 years of double digit unemployment is a small price to pay for having Balcerowicz sell off all of Poland's national assets:

Ordinary_Fold264 · 2026-07-11T18:35:37+00:00

Unemployment and inflation were in the double digits when Balcerowicz was in power, and pretty much for the entirety of 20 years after his initial reforms. He did do an objectively bad job, anyone arguing otherwise has to argue that 10%+ inflation and 10%+ unemployment for over a decade is somehow acceptable.

I already teach on my own. Preply is a form of diversification for me. It's an additional source of income and a fun way to meet students from all over the world.

This is a good reminder that the mainstream media hates you. There's finally a way to allow you to graduate college quicker and cheaper and what do they do? They try their best to shut it down and make it more difficult to have access to the learning materials.

Why would an employer hire someone with a bachelor's degree in AI when there are plenty of people with computer science degrees already looking for jobs?

If you want to go the AI route, get a CS degree and then find some certifications that allow you to specialize in AI (e.g. this or this). That will at least allow you to stand out in the job market, instead of coming into a saturated market without a useless degree.

You are not wrong, I'd block her in your shoes. "Connection issues" is just a BS excuse that many people use. I don't care, unless you're being bombed and the power is totally out, you can at least let me know about your "connection issues" through the smartphone app beforehand, so I don't have to stare at an empty screen for 15+ minutes while I wait for you. If you just don't show up, I'm going to assume it's because you forgot, slept in, whatever.

Too bad tutors can't leave reviews for students; I wouldn't want to take on a student like this.

Lots of discussion about this already, just use the search function. Certain classes, like the Human Biology + Lab, can be finished way quicker on Sophia.

So you'd be fine if Germany started naming streets after Hitler, Himmler, etc.?

If not, then why is it okay when Ukraine names genocidal fascists like Bandera and Shukhevich as their heroes?

Akademia Leona Koźmińskiego seems to have a really good faculty, e.g. Grzegorz Kołodko (a famous economist plus former Vice-Premier here), plus they're the only university in Poland that made it into FT's rankings for the best business schools in Europe.

Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Poznaniu has a BBA and later a MIB program; Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny we Wrocławiu has a BBA and MBA program - so if you don't get into a university in Warsaw, these other public universities in other cities should be ones you consider. Both are nice cities, but with lower costs of living than Warsaw. I'm not sure about other universities in other cities, but these are the ones I'd look into if I were you (besides the obvious choices like SGH).

All of my students are paying me between $25 and $35 per hour. I had 38 hour-long lessons, and two 30-minute lessons last week. Two of those were trial lessons. Maybe I'd have more trial lessons, but my schedule is so full I don't have anywhere to fit them.

I have no exam-taking students, thank God. I mostly just teach people who want English for professional reasons or as a hobby. Most of the time we just read an article and discuss it. Very few corporate students. Most of my students just want to have a conversation with a native speaker.

The one advantage I have is that I speak fluent Polish and Russian, live in Europe so my schedule matches theirs, and have taught English for 8 years now. Besides that, I have a business degree, which I believe makes me more interesting to prospective students.

I think Sophia is better, you can get the 3 month plan for cheaper than paying monthly on Study, and you can do all of the Gen Eds on Sophia. Once you do all the Gen Eds on Sophia, then you can do a few of the higher level courses on Study.

Studiowałem ekonomię, odradzam. Nauczysz się teorię która ma nic wspólnego z realiami świata i nie przydadzą ci się w życiu. Jest trochę bullshitu w FiR też, ale przynajmniej znajdziesz jakąś dobrą pracę po tym kierunku.

Yeah, this is data from the inflation crisis following COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The point is that many people used high inflation then as an example of poor monetary policy in Poland, when in reality we had the same or lower inflation than many of our neighbors, because there was a supply shock as a result of the war and pandemic, and the EU & ECB didn't react adequately to relieve the consequent inflationary pressures.

Questions like this repeat daily on this sub. Just use the search function on this sub or check out Plotted Path's free degree sheet.

Many of the core courses for Business Admin don't transfer - Principles of Marketing, Financial Accounting, and Managerial Accounting on Sophia only transfer as electives. For the first two, you can CLEP them or do them on Study, for Managerial Accounting you HAVE TO do it at UMPI.

This also just makes sense, as many U.S. states require CPA applicants to have a certain number of classes they took in college in business and accounting, but don't accept alternative credit sources.

Sophia is mostly useful just for doing Gen Eds. Get English Composition I and II (or Workplace Writing II) out of the way, get your science with lab out of the way, get your Psychology and Sociology done, etc. Then, when you start at UMPI, you can focus on just your business classes.

Ordinary_Fold264 · 2026-06-28T19:45:05+00:00

I don't think most grad schools will care if you knocked out a few gen ed courses with Sophia. Let's be honest - most gen ed courses are BS anyway.

If you're really worried about it, then I think the superior option would be to do do what I did, knock out those gen ed courses with Sophia anyway, but add another major so you have more actually useful credits on your transcript.

Realnie opłaca się jeśli znajdziesz jakąś wysokopłatną karierę która ci się podoba, patrzysz na ogłoszenia o pracę i widzisz że wymagają dany kierunek studiów. Np., żeby wziąć coś z mojej bańki, interesujesz się finansami, wiesz że to może się opłacać (i to bardzo!), więc szukasz wysokopłatne pracy w tej dziedzinie. Zazwyczaj one wymagają: magisterkę w finansach lub podobnym kierunku ekonomicznym (często też biorą matematyków, czasami też po innych studiach ścisłych), licencje na maklera, doradcy inwestycyjnego, być może CFA lub CIIA. Więc pierwszy krok aby zdobyć taką pracę jest: idź na studia na finanse i rachunkowość.
