Good job. Do not overspecialize too soon. At this point it is much more important to work on how the brain processes and not cram in too much data. I would recommend at least 4 undergraduate degrees with economics and biology being two of them. It generally only takes about 30 extra credits per degree and even without a degree it is the knowledge that is important. We generally require only 15 credit hours a semester and yet when I got to medical school we did 44 credits a semester (44 hours of class) and it was quite doable. I did once do 31 credits in a semester undergraduate. I never shot for the highest grade unless I needed that grade. I would decide if the effort for an A would teach me anything special and if not be happy with a B and would spend perhaps 50% of the effort needed for an A and use the extra time learning something else.I run circles around my A colleagues these days. On the side she should read the latest articles from the great economic thinkers and follow the best online boards in areas such as stem cells, nutrition, longevity. Start making a list of the economic/business geniuses and check monthly for their latest video or blog I can not emphasize enough, unless needed to get into medical school do not go for the top grade, unless you judge the extra knowledge worth while. In medical school grades don't matter much, so in my Anatomy course I had the choice of not doing a long worthless project or getting a 2 level drop in my grade.I figured it would be easier and more worthwhile to get an A in anatomy and have the grade dropped to a C and I did so. The course was given by an elderly British professor and his wife. One day about a month into the course she came to me at my cadaver "Dr there must be a mistake I don't have you registered for a project" I told her I was not doing one and accepting a 2 letter grade drop. She looked at me an stuttered "can you do that?" I said sure it was in fine print in the syllabus. She looked shocked, turned away looking at the ground and walked away shaking her head. I felt bad for her as I was apparently the only person to ever do this. The next year they removed the ability to not do the project and have a letter grade drop Even today I make money throwing out the trash (99% with no right to be heard) and following those who have earned this right. One must earn the right for an opinion if they expect to be heard. I treat all people equal and with respect in most areas but with knowledge will choose who I will listen to

And have her read The History of Alexandria by Justin Pollard. It is more about knowledge and the power of knowledge than the history of a city and a great read
