If so, what is your academic background?

I have a BSC in Mathematical Economics and Statistics. My Dissertation was on Predatory Pricing. I plan to go back into academia in 2006, somewhere in the Social Sciences, though not quite sure.

I'm thinking of going back to school for an economics degree, what type of job can you get with one?

Check the Internet Magazine forum for a thread started by an economist talking about Al's article.

As an economist, bridge player, and poker player - that article is awesome to read.

I have to agree with the economist dude. Al's ripping of how economist do their work is quite wrong.

What kind of predatory pricing? Presumably this is in IO?

I looked into the theory of predatory and limit pricing. What circumstances would lead them to be optimal strategy, lab tests on the matter, and historical case studies.
