Is a BA or BS in economics better?

Career Goals Most universities agree that a B.A. in economics makes graduates “real-world ready” immediately. The B.S., with its focus on the sciences behind economics, prepares its graduates for post-graduate study — either a master’s degree or a Ph.

You get an essay about a boring subject with a strict word count requirement, then halfway through you run out of things to talk about and try to stretch it to make it fit. Anyone who’s done a core class in college knows the feeling. Word economy is the opposite of that: raising the value of your average word. It’s a critical and unsung function in writing, making every word count for something, either in direct purpose or further clarifying our understanding of the scene. The level of verbosity that you can get away with corresponds with what kind of writing you want to do, and more importantly, how many words are contained in that writing.

Poems are short, usually only a few hundred words or less. They rely on every word counting, even at the price of grammar or form. Short stories are more lenient, but everything has to come to a point eventually. It can seem as though short stories use flowery language or tangents into other topics, but at the end of an effective story, everything is pushing towards a climax, resolution, or moral. Novellas and novels are the least restrictive, where world-building, serialization, casual dialogue can be used without recourse. In this way, writing a novel is the most liberated form of writing from word economy, but it also holds the highest risk of being stretched or having stagnant growth.

So how do you make every word count? Literary devices, those things we all learned in secondary school, are the most common tool. Confident writing, as I’ve gone over before, also reduces unnecessary adjectives and adverbs that spawn from uncertainty rather than necessity.

For instance, similes shouldn’t just be random correlations between things. They should clarify our understanding of something…

The immense power of her spell pushed down against her hands like a boulder, feeling as though her bones might be crushed under its weight.

Or activate our other senses beyond sight as a reader…

Like a touch of electricity, the force sent a tingling, hair-raising shockwave through his arm, lingering long after the energy had left his skin.

Revision is also important, because while you’re chewing through a first draft, you may write more passively than you intend to. Go through a first draft and look for unnecessary nutshelling and check for excessive adverbs. Look for clichés and jargon that is presented in the description or by the narrator that doesn’t fit with the tone. Even a rough scan of your text can turn up a lot of ways to make your words worth more and your readers hanging on each of them.

Sometimes less is more. One way to practice word economy in our writing is to write short pieces with a set word limit. For instance, try writing a 50 word story or a 100 word story. It’s challenging but it’s fun! There is a bit of a trick to it but I think I’ll hold off on sharing that with you. If you think 50 or 100 word limits are too limiting, imagine Ernest Hemingway’s six word story which he is said to have considered his best prose: For sale: baby shoes, never used.”

Sample 50 word stories:

He was empty. The sweet, sensitive man was gone. His eyes were cold. He was quiet. He missed all of her cues, saying nothing. He did not feel anything anymore. He was a different person. He was going through the motions. For the first time, she was scared for him.

As the airplane left the runway she was overcome by an incredible sadness. She wasn’t able to stop the tears that left her right eye and stained her makeup. Then it hit her…her purpose. She realized that she was put on Earth to make others happy, not to be happy.

The light filtered in through the sheer curtain. Grace’s eyelids fluttered. She turned on to her side, pulling the blanket with her. Turning again, she opened her eyes. It was definitely daylight. She couldn’t avoid it any longer. She had made up her mind and she was ready to act!

He set his half empty coffee cup on the small table, took a slow and deliberate drag from his cigarette then exhaled, stifling the sigh that came from within. What had happened to his life? He watched the smoke drift away from him til it disappeared, just like his life.

Sample 100 word stories:

She didn’t want an apology. She wanted acknowledgement. They had loved each other deeply, then with one press of the “enter” key he told her he was attracted to someone else. It ripped her heart. She told him she knew it wasn’t intentional. It had just happened. He said “Thank you for understanding.” And that was it. Nothing more. She wanted him to say he knew the change this would mean for her. It was easier for him to say nothing. That hurt her. She knew she could go on, but not without that acknowledgement. The hurt stayed and grew.

How could he get her to understand? He had not wanted children before. He had been angry when he found out she was carrying his child. But what she didn’t know was that things were different now. He wanted this child. It was his child, not just hers. She had no right to keep him from the baby. He loved her. He always had, just like he had always loved that baby…his baby. He had needed time to get used to the idea of being a father. He wanted his baby. He wanted her. At long last, he was ready.

Try it if you dare! It’s a worthy skill to learn. Feel free to leave your attempt in a comment or leave a link to your try!

How to Choose the Right Word Every Time

You’ve written (perhaps over-written) a long first draft, but you have no idea where to start paring it down. You want the strongest passages to shine. You want those sensory details to pop and make your readers see, hear, feel, taste, and smell what you’re showing them. You want the writing to be clear, and to flow.

To bring a messy first draft through its first round of revision, you need to think about word economy.

When you approach revision, ask yourself the following questions: Am I repeating myself anywhere? Am I using clichés? Am I relying on telling too much, or could I use another detail or two? Is this word/phrase/sentence necessary? How can I say more with less?

Once you are in the mindset of making every word count, sit down with a hard copy of your draft, some highlighters, and some pens of varying colors. Ready? Because here is a practical, step-by-step guide for distilling your writing into the best version of itself, using the absolute best words.

Start with the action words

Pick up that highlighter and highlight every verb or verb phrase you have used. Verbs are your action words. Making action words as strong as possible will strengthen any piece of prose. Consider this sentence: The girl rode her bike to the park as fast as she could. The verb is rode, and it’s a fine verb—but what else is going on in this story? Is she riding to meet her friends, or is she trying to get away from someone? Her mood informs the verb choice, so you can use the bigger picture to inform the synonym you will use to replace your verb.

Let’s say the girl is heading off to meet her best friend who was away at camp all summer. Besides a few emails, the friends haven’t spoken in two months. You might change rode to raced to show her eagerness to get there. There are other ways to show positive excitement, but for now, the verb change will suffice.

Eliminate redundancy

Trading in generic verbs for stronger ones might render other parts of your sentence or paragraph unnecessary or redundant. For example, in changing rode to raced, you eliminate the need to say as fast as she could. Raced implies both speed and superlative effort. If you had changed the verb from rode to pedaled, you could have eliminated the need to say her bike, but you might still need the phrase as fast as she could.

There are no right or wrong ways to distill this or any sentence, only different options that have different meanings. You have to decide what is the best option for the story you are telling—and that will always be the version that doesn’t use unnecessary words or say anything that’s already been said.

Find a better way to describe and give direction

Next on the chopping block are adverbs and prepositions. Sometimes we need them, but most of the time, there are more interesting ways to give description and direction. If your original draft said the girl quickly rode her bike, cut that quickly! In the process of choosing a better verb and eliminating redundant language, you’ll make your point that she was riding quickly.

Perhaps you are wondering how you could cut to the park and still say where your character is going. Is there a way to do it without using a prepositional phrase, and to show (rather than tell) that she’s going to the park?

Where does this girl live? What kind of neighborhood is it—a bustling city or a quaint rural town? Who or what does she see on the way? How far away is the park from her house? Showing the scene will get the girl to the park without actually having to say it (even if you have to use other, better prepositional phrases): The girl pedaled as fast as she could down the street, trees and mailboxes whizzing by before she rounded a corner and saw the community park’s sign.

Transform weak details into strong ones

The details in this version ground the scene and work harder to show action than the original, telling sentence of The girl rode her bike to the park as fast as she could. Could they do more? What kind of trees are they? Show us those mailboxes. Give this setting some personality: The girl pedaled as fast as she could down Birch Street, mature trees and quirky mailboxes whizzing by before she turned onto Walnut. The wooden sign with rainbow-lettering came into view: Friends-Meet Community Park.

ProWritingAid

Now look at the bigger picture of this scene. The girl is hurrying to meet her friend. What else is going on? What can you show us that develops this girl’s character a little more? Maybe Mrs. Walker would be at the farmer’s market, so she could take a shortcut through the retired schoolteacher’s yard.

This detail shows us the girl is a little bit daring, observant enough to know her neighbors’ routines and smart enough not to get caught. She’s probably a good kid who dabbles in mostly harmless rule-breaking. If you were peppering in personality-developing details about a true delinquent, she might smash Mrs. Walker’s begonias for the third time in a summer, right?

And the detail about the park’s name might only be relevant if that particular park is relevant to the girl and her friend. Maybe they met at this park? If so, the park’s name is an important detail because it probably popped up elsewhere in the story. If not, cut it.

Practicing word economy

Practice these tips enough and you’ll make different and better word choices during the generative process, so the revision process won’t be so labor intensive.

But no matter what stage of the process you’re in, you’ll improve your writing by practicing word economy through eliminating generic, weak, and redundant words and phrases in favor of strong, evocative details.

PR writing is an exercise in restraint. It is an economy of words. When we consider our audience, less is almost always more.  As a professional communicator, there is a limited amount of time to convey your meaning to an audience. To do it effectively, you need to carefully consider your words. That takes time.

Winston Churchill and Mark Twain are both credited with saying, “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” Concise writing is difficult. But it’s important because it is effective. In a recent article from Entrepreneur guest writer Amy Hutchins says, “Words matter. They influence thoughts. Thoughts influence behaviors. Behaviors influence results.”

Here are three tips for concise writing:

  1. Use as few words as possible. Word elimination is your friend. To make your writing bold and clear try this Hemingway App It can help you find your trouble spots and rewrite for clarity.
  2. Think about your audience. Avoid jargon and attempts to be clever with complex grammar or words that appear sophisticated. Remember to show the audience what you mean, not showoff.
  3. Avoid repetition. Concise writing is clearer and more interesting for the reader because it is organized and thought out in advance. Wordiness and redundancy feel like a waste of time to the reader and possibly like you didn’t take the time to think things through for them.

  • Economy

Word economy means using the fewest possible words to say and communicate your message without losing its original meaning. It means to make your work to the point, without unnecessary cliché and weak language. The work is shorter, clearer, easy to comprehend, and stronger. It helps you polish your work and writing in order to make it more impactful. How can you achieve this? Let’s begin. Break out your highlighters, red pens and be attentive as I am about to tell you all business writers how to achieve the word economy;

Word  Economy

  • Planning makes perfect:
  •  Before putting your fingers on the keyboard or your pen on paper, think and analyze about what you want to write and portray. Once you know what you want to say, think about how to say it best. This will help you economize your language and word count. To stop yourself from beating around the bush, be straightforward and write in points. For example titan ED655 is mentioned on various sites and has many articles written on. Do you know what they all have in common? They have all the vital and initial details in them without the additional build up.
  • Choose your words wisely:
  •  Some words are useless and make the paragraph longer and boring. They’re like the long credits before the movie even starts. This means saying “We acted” instead of “We took action.” In that statement, “took” pads the text but adds no real meaning. A very practical and common exercise for your training yourself in start is to use fewer and better words is to print/write out a copy of your work and highlight all the verbs. What can you do to make them stronger? What can be a better alternative?

Also avoid expletives like there and it. Minimize your adverbs like “breathing heavily” can also be portrayed as “gasp “or “pant”.  Find opportunities to eliminate adverbs to make room for more details.

  • Repeating is the worst:
  • Not only is repeating words incorrect, it also makes your writing boring and weak. Try to cut the other iterations, or write in ways that point to or bolster, but don’t outright repeat, important ideas Let’s look at glee paint and an equipment does; they’ve both displayed the titan ED6555 on their websites but one of them as specified the details in pointers and efficiently while the other as repeated phrases and specifications again and again, in points and paragraphs. Which one of these is more attractive to a reader? Hence, you should always find synonyms rather than repeating.
  • Don’t encourage lengthy writing:
  •  All my point above add to this one. By planning your steps, choosing your words wisely and not repeating them; your document writing is bound to be efficient. However, mostly we are unconsciously looking for a way to prolong are work as when we were kids, we try to stretch our essays and then thesis. Later on our office might require us to write reports and we look for an easy way to get the job done. We are encouraged on the bases of our word count hence we need to consciously focus on quality over quantity.
  • Compress, Compress, Compress:
  •  Your work and its dialogue should be economical in the same way you do with your prose. This will also help with my previous point of not making the work unimportantly long. Most people are naturally economical speakers and will tend to say “I’ll go” instead of “Yes, I will go.”
  • Dictionary is your friend:
  •  Some writers mistakenly make phrases longer with the wrong word and language. Economical word choice makes your work more fluid and clear, so use the dictionary and thesaurus to help you make phrases better, structured shorter and not longer.
  • Revise:
  •  Real growth and perfection happens in revising. When revising our work, we are more likely to check the flow, grammar and intellectuality of our writing. We are more likely to find errors and fix them. We can more clearly follow the steps mentioned above. And you know what? You don’t have to do it yourself. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask a fellow friend for help and guidance. Sometimes they might look at your in perspective, you yourself might not. When you review your own work, ask yourself: “Could I communicate this same idea using fewer words?” If the answer is yes, then rewrite the relevant sentences and paragraphs with that in mind.


So, in writing, the word economy means to cautiously manage your words that end up in your work. In the simplest of terms, it means keeping sentences, paragraphs and specifications accurate and to the point. This will help you achieve economy in your writing and business can use this to attractive a wider audience.
