Please draw on your own experiences to discuss the following three items. Make sure you use economic concepts in your main contribution. Explain a decision that you have made at work, or one concerning your career, or any major life decision that you have made. Identify and explain the trade-offs that you faced. List the alternatives you had, identify the highest valued alternative, and explain your final decision to the class.
