I like working with my hands and constantly learning and creating new things. I think I would specifically become a Aeronautical Engineer. If money did not matter I would probably be in professional Jiu jitsu. I have not taken any economics. The closest courses I have taken were intro to business and intro to accounting through HCC and Leeward.]]> 2021-08-23 21:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692031751 Ridge Quitoriano raq12 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692331525 If I knew I could not fail I would be an NFL football player, I've played high school football (nowhere near NFL talent..) but I still love the game. If money did not matter I would be a professional gamer. I have taken an ECON course back in 2016 at Southwestern Oregon CC but it has been soo long that I almost don't count it. ]]> 2021-08-24 01:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692331525 Ku'umomimakamae Marquez marquez3 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692787651 If I knew I could not fail I would be a professional basketball player because I loved playing that sport growing up and still am a fan of it. 
If money did not matter I would be a professional Pastry Chef because I love to bake all sorts of things. If I have the recipe and ingredients I can make it.
I have not taken Economics before. This is my first class pertaining to Economics. ]]> 2021-08-24 03:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692787651 Eva Lee eayau2 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692917112 If I knew I could not fail I would attempt to pursue multiple degrees simultaneously while still maintaining my family and work life. If money did not matter I would open an Early Childhood Center to help serve more families with young children in our community. I took ECON 130 last semester and really enjoyed learning about Microeconomics. Looking forward to learning about Macroeconomics this semester. ]]> 2021-08-24 05:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1692917112 Shelly Baniaga gumms1 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1694202962 If I knew I wouldn't fail I would work on a better system for society, such as helping the homeless, ending hunger, providing education. Basically trying to improve life for the less fortune to be successful. If money didn't matter, I would like to go on a honey moon trip for a year traveling around the world with my husband and showing him where I grew up in Brasil. This is my first economic class and I'm excited!]]> 2021-08-24 18:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1694202962 Maddox Tuasivi-Faagutu maddoxtf https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1694663192 If I knew that I could not fail, I would travel to Las Vegas and play every game at the casinos. If money did not matter, I would try to own many things I could not attain because money restricted me from having it. Some examples would be a boat, a mini-fridge, and a first edition base set Charizard. I have never taken an economics course at all, this is my first one.]]> 2021-08-25 00:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1694663192 Teighen `Alohi Lindsey teighenl https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1695247480 Aloha everyone, 
If I knew I could not fail, I would be finished with college and living in Oregon. In Oregon, I would have bought a good size house, to eventually raise a family in. And my relationship would be better than ever! But, of course, I`m going to fail. Most times, failure IS good. It is so hard to think about if money did not matter. Honestly, if money did not matter I would not feel so guilty while shopping or treating myself. Every time I go shopping for groceries, I am always so cautious about what I am getting and how much it'll cost me. I actually have not taken any economic classes. This is my very first one, hooray! ]]> 2021-08-25 04:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1695247480 Grace Ann Walker walker81 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1696996170 I would attempt to stay in school until I receive a masters degree. I'm still unsure of what I want to study, but I'm leaning towards business and education. If money didn't matter I would probably stick with education as my major. Knowledge is so powerful. I have never taken economics before. I unfortunately don’t remember anything from high school. ]]> 2021-08-25 23:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1696996170 Bruce Bohannon bruceboh https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1697189482 If I knew I could not fail, I would like to do and be a little bit of everything. A student, teacher, martial artist, athlete, sailor, pilot, astronaut, researcher, janitor, programmer, welder, diver, retail worker, waiter, cook, philosopher, entrepreneur, actor, director, set designer, architect, construction worker, nurse, doctor, veterinarian, dog walker, etc, etc, etc.

The same is true if money didn't matter. I'd like to try out and explore all manner of occupation and hobby, meet other people and understand the experiences that shape them, enriching myself beyond all manner of currency.

I have taken a couple of college courses that touched on Economics, but never specifically an Economics class.]]> 2021-08-26 01:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1697189482 Duncan Stewart dunc3 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1697822228 If money didn't matter I would make it my mission to spend a majority of my time not working to try and make people laugh. This world is rough enough as it is, it's not much but it's a small difference. I suppose that would answer what I would do if I couldn't fail. I'd also most likely spend a lot of time traveling the world visiting the people I care about.

I've always had a passion for the sport, but was too scared to pursue it further. However, to answer this question today, and knowing what I've learned over the years of what I want to pursue in life, I would be doing exactly what I am doing right now in pursuing my degree in Business Administration. I've gone through struggles to be where I am at today and I feel that has helped me to pursue this goal of mine. I could have obtained my Athletic Director certification 4 years ago, but the only thing that was missing was having a bachelors.
If money did not matter, I would have opened up a cheer gym where athletes could learn/do both gymnastics and cheerleading in a positive environment with top notch athletic equipment and a team of great coaches. 
I took ECON 130 last semester and I am looking forward to learning more about Economics this semester. ]]> 2021-08-26 07:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1698069616 Jessica Leilani Balanay jlbalana https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1698143310 If I could never fail, I think I would eventually get irritated with myself. Yes, in the beginning it would be cool and awesome because everything would go the way its supposed to. Then it would be expected and others around me would eventually get tired of my achievements and maybe even start to fill negative feelings about me. I’m not the type of person that ever wants to be the person that never fails because there is no lesson behind it. If I never failed, I would never have to think about how I could better myself and how I would learn from the mistakes.
If money did not matter I would not have to worry about the cost of baby essentials and worry about what I could afford for my older kids. 
we would not have to worry about food and would not all have to cram in one room. We would also invite people over to share food and enjoy fellowship.
I have taken ECON 130 last semester with Terianne. I like the way she structures everything and I enjoy the Ed puzzles. 
Sorry about the picture. I always wait till the kids go to sleep and we all stay in the same room so I very little light to work with

If money didn’t matter, I would like to sign up to go to the deepest parts of the ocean in one of those submersibles that can withstand the pressure. I would like to see in person the strange sea life that I watch on nature shows. 

I have never taken any economics or business classes in high school or college.

How convenient would that be?

If money didn't matter, I would do lots of traveling, play more video games on a way overpowered computer, and work on more radio control vehicles.

I have taken an Economics course in college many years ago.]]> 2021-08-27 04:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1700071242 Shon Ducusin shond7 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1700236870 If I could do anything without failure. I will try to do as much as I can in life. Either be sports games etc. I'll try to do anything that will leave a piece of myself in this world permanently. Like the people that we read about every day in history.

Also, I feel that if money didn't matter to me. Similar to the question above if I had an infinite amount I will be spending it left and right like any other person. I'll try to make the world a different place than what it's now.

I never took economics in either high school or college and this is my first economics class.]]> 2021-08-27 05:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1700236870 Chase Abad chaseka1 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1700501264 I could attempt anything knowing failure wasn't a factor, I would become an influencer and powerlifter because of my high interest in social media and lifting weights. 

If money did not matter, I would definitely get into building and driving fast cars. I have friends who are car guys. Car parts are pretty expensive and so is labor so if money wasn't an issue, it is something I would see myself getting into.

I have never taken an economics class before. I do enjoy the concepts so far though from that crash course video.]]> 2021-08-27 08:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1700501264 Adriana Romero romeroaj2 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701472869 if I knew I could not fail at anything, I would start multiple businesses with cyber security. I would also start chain companies around the country and profit off off each business.

Money to me is very important and if it didn't matter I would give a large sum to charities that helps the communities and homeless people. I would also but a large property and build houses for each of my family members so we all live in the same area.

I have taken economics before. I took it my senior year in high school and two years ago in college. ]]> 2021-08-27 21:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701472869 Dylan Scuitto dscuitto https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701511630 If I knew I couldn't fail I would attempt to unite the world and travel to the depths of space. I would choose these two things because I have always wanted to see a world that works together on a global standpoint.
If money didn't matter I would end homelessness and provide rehabilitation centers to hopefully help reintroduce people back into their communities.
This is my first time taking economics, I am very eager to learn about the ins and outs of it this semester ]]> 2021-08-27 22:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701511630 Laura Adams-Durgin lauraad6 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701526045 If I knew I couldn't fail, I would solve global warming in a way that wasn't euro- or anthropocentric and convince the world to implement the necessary changes.

If money didn't matter, I would need to find something that I could do that could be useful for trade. Although I don't know exactly what I'd do, it would probably need to be some sort of service (maybe organizational) as I am not particularly talented in creating or producing things. (I assume that, without valid currency, we would revert to a trade or barter system similar to how the people of Germany did after World War I when the mark became practically useless.)

I took a class called History of Economic Thought when I went to college the first time (about 20 years ago).]]> 2021-08-27 22:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701526045 Honuokawailani Kaai-Caravalho honuokaw1 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701543099 If I knew I could not fail, I would create the first fusion reactor, which is pretty much a nuclear power plant, but much safer, and could produce much more energy. Or if money didn't matter, then I would like to travel around the world, and try all sorts of cuisine, especially in Japan. But also try to make videos to entertain people, because ever since I was young, the people I looked up to would be these Youtubers, or even Twitch streamers now, that have changed many peoples lives, but to be honest I believe if I just applied myself to try do this, I could actually make this dream of mines into a reality. And now finally this would be my first ECON class I have taken, unless business core counts in which I have taken back in high school.

If money would not matter, I would travel to destinations i always wanted to visit and enjoy the food and culture. This is my first economics course. ]]> 2021-08-28 01:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701602184 Candy Fujimoto candyfuj https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701631085 If I knew I could not fail, I would help the struggling people in my community.  I would equip them with the basic necessities along with education, workforce, childcare and sense of place to help them succeed.  I would also protect our environment, especially Hawaiʻi.

This is the first time I am taking Economics. ]]> 2021-08-28 01:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701631085 Jaime Matsuo https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701679841 Currently my biggest goal in life is to finish college. Since graduating high school in 2006, there have been many distractions and obstacles that has prevented me from getting a degree. By getting a degree, I would have achieved a goal that I had been dreaming about since I was little.
If money did not matter, I would love to create lasting memories by traveling and experiencing the world with my better half.
This is my first Economics class, and I am excited to begin this semester! ]]> 2021-08-28 03:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701679841 Jay-dn Kaluau Kalawa jaydn2 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701806811 I would attempt all my ASE certifications if I knew I could not fail, and considering how expensive those tests are, infinite money would help yield a similar result there. 
In high school I took a microeconomics course over the summer.]]> 2021-08-28 07:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701806811 Kristine Castaneda-Valdez castaned4 https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701821023 If I could not fail I would attempt to be a Pediatrician Physician. That was always my dream career since I was in elementary school. I never persued it because I didn't do well when I first started college in 2007 and I didn't have the funds.
If money didn't matter I would buy a house so my kids and I have our own place to call home. 
This is my first time taking economics and I very exciting about this course. 

P.S. My computer does not have a camera, So I attached one I took from my phone instead. ]]> 2021-08-28 08:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/terianne6/2cs2s5ezh4rvtao0/wish/1701821023
