The interview project was a good assignment. I enjoyed
interviewing my grandfather and my father. On the other hand, I didn’t really
enjoy answering these questions. This may be a sexist comment but I feel that
men are just more involved in economics and politics. Not to mention I am 20
years old and don’t really stay that up to date with the News, although I
really should especially because I am a Business major.
Before doing this Economics interview I always knew my
grandpa was extremely Republican my dad was somewhat Republican but I didn’t
think some of their responses would be that much different. It was definitely interesting
to see how much they agree and disagree on certain things. What surprised me
the most was that the recession didn’t affect my grandfather. Maybe it’s
because he is retired but I thought the recession affected everyone in one
small way or a big way. Another thing that surprised me was that my grandfather
did not get a credit card until the age of 32. It clearly was a different time
back then, but by 32 he already had two children and was trying to start his
own business.
Overall, the project was interesting and insightful. I think
interviewing them in person also helped as opposed to over the phone or just
making them fill it out. It was good to hear their tone of voice and their initial
instinct on the questions.
