So, I watched a video recently where the guest speaker said, that if he gets the opportunity to advise teens in high school he would tell them not to study economics, and it made me scared because I'm studying economics. So, it was like... ' Did I make the wrong choice or something? '. Moving further in the video, I realized that what he was saying and explaining had already been said by my economics lecturer before.

"Economics is a day-to-day practice and is an easy endeavor made difficult for study reasons", he usually said. Watching the video to the end, I asked myself, "If I had the opportunity to go back in time would I pick another course to study? " And the answer was ..." No". And if I have the opportunity to advise any high school student about courses to choose... I'd say "Economics". The more people learn about even basic economics, the better the economy of countries.

So, if you had the opportunity to advise people about courses to choose In University, what would it be and why?

Every person has their own point of view, In yours, Economics is good and in mine, it is very good and we should not avoid it. By the way, I am not studying Economics, so I don't know what do you guys are reading in there, talking about difficult, every subject is difficult if we have no interest in it considering you know everything. The funny thing is, I was not an economic dude, which means, I didn't give any time to know about economies, and the factors causing problems and, etc. etc.,

But when I started to engage in the economic section of this forum, I got to know a lot, I learn new things, and still learning, but the pace of learning new things keeps getting slow nowadays, I don't know the exact reasons, maybe I know enough (but that's not a chance hehe).

Talking about advice to people about courses, I will simply say do what you want to, because, on your choice, you have to stick to it and have to find ways to make work out of it. I like programming before coming into computer sciences, but now I don't like it hehe. So, it all depends on time, and the situations one is going through.

Well just as you have said Economic is not a bad course to study I gist right now in many countries Economic is one of the social courses that deal with many jobs like the engineering, and the business man and women, also has help a lot of people to make a right decision in their businesses and in additional help in growth of product management services in the country’s financial sector.
So for my advice it a matter of choice when choosing course of study….

No course is bad and I can't advice anyone not to study a course of their choice. Going for a course should be based on passion and interest,  it shouldn't be because of to become rich after graduation. When people choose course of study because of the interest they have for it they perform very excellent in their grade throughout their time in school but when a course is selected because of how people talk good about the course,  if their is no interest of studying the course one hardly flow with the course because their is no interest.

It is important people go after what they can do better than to go after what they will struggle to learn thinking it will be the best decision for the future. I don't see economics not be a good course,  and it is a well recognised discipline that every company,  business will need an economist for better management.

keep focusing on what you are doing and do it, if you like economics just do it, don't listen to the advice of random people on the internet, there is too much misdirection in today's era, not everything you watch can be taken from wisdom. Economics is an important science so don't be inferior because of that. I know several great economists who make state policies, because of their policies the country can achieve 5% economic growth in a year.

I don't really think economy is a bad course to study in school, and I would have loved to also watch that video you are talking about to know their exact reason for it, but to me everything that have advantage will also have disadvantage, so the disadvantage part of it shouldn't stop us from doing things or going for course we have passion for, because when as an individual you are studying or doing things you don't have passion for, you will not be able to give out your full potential in that field of study, so my candid advice to the op is that if it's what you love doing, then you made the right decision, because we only die once, so we should live life by doing things we love.

I would advice people to try and study something in technology

Time is evolving and so are technology each company nowadays is looking for an IT guy whether to fix something or to create something so i think the demand is there

You could be a computer engineer as well creating softwares or applications will be profitable and beneficial in today’s time

Don't let someone reorientate you and change your mind towards the right thing you're already achieving all because they couldn't make something worthwhile out of it in their own time doesn't mean others like you could be successful in your own time, there's no how you could make a justification to illiteracy no matter how, it's not what we can compare than when we are educated, it will shows in everything we do.

economics and politics go together though. the only way the economy of a country will work well is if the politicians are doing their work well. a country with politicians that go unpunished despite the pieces of evidence of corruption and crime, also has the worse economy.

but yes iff there is something that i should be passionate about, it should be economics especially now that i have learned its money that makes the world go crazy.

You will advise people to study something relating to technology and all of that; that area is a driving area in development, but the question is, will that person be able to understand that technological study?
 
I believe whatever one needs to study today, he or she needs to have background knowledge of that and the desire to be in that field, not just a decision that someone else's can make for the other; it's a lifelong career, and the person needs to think carefully about whether they will do well in that field or not.
 
Before I can make a course or career recommendation for anyone, I will first of all study the person and examine their likes and dislikes of what they crave. Then, we can know which area they can do well in, but they can still add other things as skills they can just learn aside from studying it as a field.

I think choosing a major or course in university should depend on your desired career path after graduation. If you prioritize immediate job opportunities, research job demand projections for the next 3-4 years. Engineering offers good prospects, as my friends found work quickly. However, if remote work interests you, consider technology-related majors. Remember, university education goes beyond just technical skills (hard skills). Developing "soft skills" like networking and teamwork is equally crucial, as many curriculums haven't significantly changed in a decade.

In deciding to choose a college major, the very important thing is that we pay attention to what field we are interested in working in after we finish our education and never choose a major that most people only follow and after we have spent a while we feel bored and don't finish college then this will very disadvantaged in terms of costs and also the time we have.

If we see friends who have finished college and immediately got jobs quickly, that is the reason for us choosing a college major. I don't think we can necessarily do what other people do, so it is very important to be able to follow what we want and not let other people do it. set the desires we have and we will not be able to follow.

Studying economics is not inherently bad, but as a man, I believe you should avoid it and instead enrol in a course that will allow you to set your own goals without waiting for government intervention. While studying economics does have benefits, it is especially beneficial for women, as you mentioned. I have discovered a lot of previously unknown information in the economics section of the forum, as well as a lot of information about how things work well in life, as that is what economics talks about most.

The only thing I have to say is that before taking any courses, make sure you study a course that is related to manual labour or work that you can still survive without government. Some people will have an idea of what they want to become in the future, but as soon as you give them advice, they will change their mind, and when they go to study the course, they won't understand. For example, you may want to study computer science, but some people won't like it. That's just the way life is.

I wouldn't advise anyone on the course that he is to study,this is because anyone has their own choice of courses which they have passion for and want to learn and become what they have the zeal to be. You should also consider the area of field that the person is good at, so that you don't end up encouraging him to study a course that he cannot cope with, and fall out along the line. It is means you have mislead that person. We all have our likes, and it doesn't mean that because you like economics, the other person will like it.

Different curricular and courses offer this kind of subject but this could be used for enlightenment for the people about the current situation of the world, or even just in the community so they can take action with it, those people who don't know what happening with the economy are easy to manipulate with those words and affirmations of the people running in the government giving a pleasing promises but once they get into the position they don't know you again. But those people who know what's happening in the surroundings will surely take a move and raise up who deserves the position. If you can see only few general subject offering related to economics, taxes, and investment which is i guess is a must to learn.

These days people don't rely on what they have studied for financial success but they acquire more skills in life and that is what is needed to succeed just like we say to have diversified means of resources is better than having a single source of income. People these days don't rely on just one skill so having economies as a study just gives you the economic knowledge base and you can study any discipline in higher level in masters. There are people who studied second degree after the first degree in a separate discipline.

From one angle, I also think that economics is very important in our lives. In fact, economics is also a provision for us from young to old in building our finances. However, economics alone is not enough because we also need other knowledge in the form of skills and other insights related to life and society. But in my country, there are already too many economics graduates. But here there is a shortage in the medical field. So in the conditions of my country, I would prefer people to study medical science, because medical is just as important in life. economics can be studied self-taught because many economic books are also sold freely and easily understood if we are diligent in reading. But medical science requires guidance and practice supervised by a medical expert itself. So it is difficult to learn if only based on reading. Because to practice it also requires permission. And health experts are also the most important thing that is currently more needed by society.

I will advise people to choose a course in which they have an interest. No field is irrelevant, it will take hard work to be outstanding in the area. Many people are successful as economists and more people will still do well in that field. But I will always tell students to integrate technology with their field of study. An economist who is proficient in the use of artificial intelligence tools to engage in his job will do well. I also advise young people not to depend on their certificates, there is a need to learn another skill that could sustain them if there are no employment opportunities.

You should not force people to choose a course but it is not wrong to give advise. You might help to guide young students about a course of study by exposing them to the rudiments of the field as well as the career path. But they should be allowed to make the decision of choosing his preferred choice.

It would be anything but economics. I dont like it so its my personal view point. But i still will suggest anyone and everyone to go for Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Astronomy but economics, that what i ran away from. So its not in the list of my suggestions.

Every course has its own beauty on its form. If economics is the one you've decided to pursue, you have to be good at it and you'd definitely be happy going through the path of it if ever you'll continue to your career that's related to economics. Honestly, it's connected to everything that has money and that's the same as with finance courses. Right now, people flock to in demand courses because we're all filling the demand that we're seeing. So, if I'd be going to another course then I'd probably pursue having the degree and course of linguistics. I'd see communication as essential and even with the emergence of AIs, it's still different having automated translators. It's more of the connection that you'd get to know with other people of different languages, natives and races. And going depth with different cultures, that's something that amazes me.

Educating people about economics and money is necessary, and there must be courses on money and business for all specializations. Therefore, talking about not studying economics is wrong.
But if we say that studying economics as a university degree is wrong, all university degrees are important, regardless of the job market. It is true that some of them have a low salary scale, but if you love economics, there is nothing wrong with studying it.

I don't think it's a nice idea to advise people on which course to choose and which not to choose because everyone has their personal preference and the area they are good in. Some students are struggling in university because they choose course people recommend to them despite it doesn't align with their interest. The highest I can do is to help you with career guide and allow you to make a choice for yourself. Studying is now even easier because you can change course along the way if you are not longer interested in the initial one.


I think this is where we are getting it wrong nowadays. Majority of us now focus on courses that will bring us financial success even if it doesn't align with our interests. Everyone has different dream to fulfill, different things that make them happy and what satisfy them. I know it's important to consider the job market and the skills in demand but it's also necessary to choose a course that aligns with our area of interests and skills and not always after the financial importance. Moreover, just because a particular course is financially rewarding doesn't make it the right one for us.

In my experience, Economics was an obligatory course both at school and at the university level. But taking a course doesn't mean learning much about it if it's taught poorly. At school, the only thing we did was a business plan preparation, and I think most of the time we had lessons from other subjects when we were supposed to have Economics. As for university, that course was a bit more useful, but our professor was an old Marxist that taught us everything through this one perspective, so that also wasn't exactly how it was supposed to be. I've learned much more about the economy later on, by reading various texts and also by researching things based on threads and topics of this forum.

Every body has his porpos and objective. There is a popular saying that said "one man's meat is another man's poison" meaning that what favours you might differs from what favours me. For me I can not advice anybody to chose economic over another course. If everyone becomes an economist who will then become doctor, lawyer, engineer, accountant and entrepreneur? I Believe why we had 2 hands two legs two ears two eyes and some vital internal part of a human system that are also two in nature, is because each works to assist each other. If human where to have only one part each, if any serious thing happen it will definitely be the end of one's life and humans wouldn't be able to live the way they do today.

In all explanation I've made, is just pointing fingers at the importance of different people and their functions. So I conclusion every field is important In the society and hence one should not be taken more serious over the other.

You're upset because someone said economics isn't worth studying? That's the issue with listening to everyone. What they don't say? That economics underpins critical thinking. You learn to question, evaluate, and challenge the status quo. Indeed, it's hard. Why? Since it should be. Not memorizing graphs and formulas, but knowing why

I agree with your speaker that it's a daily exercise, but it's not made difficult. Why? Because our world is complex. Want to change things? Start here. Economics involves decisions, resources, and priorities, not simply money. It shapes futures. So when you wonder if you made the incorrect choice, I answer you made one of the most important. Keep going, go deeper, and maybe you'll change the story for the next generation

Worth studying? Depends on what you value most. The courses themselves have no value if you don't even want to study whatever it is that you think you should study. And trying to motivate yourself to study something that you are not interested in is extremely hard, basically impossible (It is like swimming against the tide compared to swimming with it).

The thing that you are most interested in is your source of motivation for studying. Grab on to that and keep growing.

Everything else would be a waste of your precious time.

Since economics and money is important in one's life I think it is not a bad idea if economics is studied as a course in the university. Economics us important that is why in most disciplines Economics is required for people to study to have understanding of how money works. Even if people who studied economics are not being played well it is not a reason why economics is not a good course to study. Infact the world can't do without economics that is why people needs to study it.

Tech. Though I must say that even though a lot of things can change with tech and there's a lot of areas you can specialize in, there's also a LOT of competition so if you want to get a job out of it, then it'd be hard. But if you just wanted to say learn, innovate, and improve then I'd say tech has a much more open area to it since someone making a brand new discovery at one point can help you make another new one and it just stacks on top of each other.

Ofc this depends on what YOU really want. A lot of people have gone to IT/CS just for the sake of money and well, a lot of them never really made progress or heck, even touched the goal that they set (aka money) after a couple of years and just gave up.

I have no doubt about Economics importance but still we need to understand what is better for us with how can we manage things which will help us for own sack because just because of people's are saying it's good or bad are never been ideal thing now we have too many branches which are related to Economics so we also need to understand which is better for us with how can we manage this all and can we do better with this all as well.
Politicians also need to be had something better knowledge about this all because if they will do better and have good knowledge about this all surely they can do better for their country and peoples as well.

People can be funny at time, by letting someone else, to chose the course they will study in the university. For example, if you parents loves Doctor career, they could just ask you to go and study medicine and surgery while it's never in your agenda to study medical course.    Do  not let what you watch on that video to influence you if you know you were the one that chose for yourself the course you are studying in the university.      Economic is a good course to study in the university. Imagine how good a country's economic system can be if the leaders are all professional economist? The country will thrive in good economic growth if leads have proper education about economics.

Economics is a wide course. I accept, but if I am opportune to advise some one or group of teenagers to study a course in the university, I will recommend developmental psychology for them because any course you advise someone to study, you must have some certain reasons why you say so, but to be precise, developmental psychology goes a long way towards knowing more about people's development from infants to their old age and their endeavors. Developmental psychology also paved the way for us to have knowledge and understanding about the factors that influence human development, such as social factors, economic factors, environmental factors, and so many more.

So having knowledge about the behaviours and development of people will make you understand more about economics because economics is one of the factors that enhances the development of human beings. Also, you will know more about your health. So things in life will be very easy for you to understand when you study developmental psychology. I like the course just because of the research and things you will achieve and understand about the well-being of people living around you.

In my country, the choice is made for you by your parents even before you’re born. If you’re a male child, it’s expected that you study Engineering or Medicine. A female child is free to choose between science and arts, and most of my friends chose art, not for passion but because they thought it would be less stressful than science courses.

Paying huge amounts of money for tuition fees only to graduate with a degree that can’t get guarantee you a job is not worth it. I’d advice my younger ones to get into tech and learn about software engineering, AI and robotics. I believe this industry is a growing market and has great potential in the future.

honestly its always relative some people might find economic as a subject to study rather pointless because they never have that much business in relation with economic field in the first place.
but for someone that always have work relating to economic its always a good subject to study, there's reason why those investing and fund management company or even any company that are in the category of finance also opening up hiring slot for those with economic degree for a reason, its not like they are hiring for no reason at all and surely those companies and their experts know better whats good for them.
so no need to regret anything over the talks that you just watched, you might find whats good in the subject of your study by your own and get motivated by your own.
after all, if we are being frank, too many people underestimating certain major just to make themselves feel good these days.

I will not advise anyone to direct them to take certain courses at university because everyone has their own preferences and they should choose based on their abilities and preferences, not suggestions or whatever other people say to them.
I don't really understand abroad, but in my country the costs for each course are different so the consideration is not only about preferences or ability in terms of intelligence but also the family's economic ability to pay.
So what the person in the video said may be true but it will not be applicable to everyone, and for you, instead of having to worry about listening to advice from people you only know online, it's better to focus on completing your course because all the knowledge will definitely be useful for your future.

I’d happily advice whoever needs to hear it to study something tech inclined the world has become a global village and it’s constantly turning away from analog to digital the more digital knowledge you have the better your chances of making an impact in the world.
I believe no one should dictate what anyone should study rather help guide them right Economics is a brilliant course and I’ll say this all courses are made difficult for purpose of educating whoever is thinking of what to study should have in mind that you need to consider your interest as a person and also find something you can solve problems with the world has many problems in fact new problems arise everyday whichever field you choose be a problem solver that’ll make you stand out in learning, excel and grow.

What the speaker you heard talking about economics said is his assessment, and we don't have the same assessment because we have our own assessment of something.

Also, the economic course is good; it helps a lot in business in reality. That's why there is an economist in every country because it helps a lot in reality. So I doubt that you made a mistake in your choice of economics course. Keep it up; don't stop.

you don't have to listen to what others have to say, it's better to take a course that you really love, you can't rely on the opinion of others what is the best course to take because you are the one who will study, not them. Just follow what you really want so you won't have any regrets if you can't pursue the course that you want. Honestly, There is no such thing as a bad course as almost everything is very useful nowadays. We can't even see what the in-demand job is right now because it's hard to force someone to do something if they don't like what they're doing.

I would advise you from the beginning, whether your profession or aspirations in the future require a degree from a university or not? For example, if you want to work in the world of economic education, of course you need a diploma to standardize economic teachers, or you want to work in a certain field in a company, of course you need to go to college to get a degree so that you can get the job as a standard qualification.

But if your goals don't require a degree, then there's no need to go to university and you can learn any knowledge on your own as your goals require that knowledge to achieve.

Now that you are in university and majoring in economics, then the advice I can give you is that you should study marketing and business management, or you go directly into the world of economics, either trading or anything related to economics so that your studies gain experience and knowledge in line and I think it will give a very good output when you graduate, in addition to gaining knowledge you also have experience and your business is ready, you just need to continue your business that was built at the same time as your studies, but don't think this is easy.

I think this happens in many countries. Parents compensate for what they did wrong in their youth, believing that their children will be their best reflections. Therefore, we are forced to receive an education that is considered the best by adults, but once we become independent, we radically retrain and get a second education in which we are interested.
This is not exactly the best approach, since giving children freedom of choice will quickly make them independent. OP, stop asking for advice and accept and do what you consider important for yourself.

Never listen to these so-called motivational speakers in the internet. they are doing a great job demotivating people and distract them from anything they are doing and want them to do what they want..
every professional, every subject have it's own important. some people like that some people don't. but that doens't mean ecnomic is not a good subject.
I think every one should know basic of ecnomics because we are all connected with economy at some point.
ecnomics is part of every household. making budget of monthly expenses, savings and all these. they are all part of ecnomics.
so I'd learning basic ecnomics should be compulsry for everyone.

Neither course is bad or bad. Any course can be done well if you have the goal to learn something/ gain your skill. I don't understand why they told didn't study economics. Economics can be learned from the external environment but one cannot become an economist easily. And every country needs economists immensely. And it is not possible to become an economist without studying economics.  But it is also true that it is easier to learn about the economy from the outside environment but that's not enough for being an economist. That can be basics.

Maybe this means that economic theory is not really needed in a simple context of thinking because economics is an everyday action that occurs naturally. But I agree with you that all courses are very important if you really want to follow them, because they will increase your repertoire of thinking so that you don't make mistakes in acting. Economics must be studied in depth in order to strengthen a person's basic foundations in carrying out daily life and if studied in more depth then a person's thinking will also be really needed to help the country's economy.

If you are not aware since 2023 people in the information Technology field lost their jobs in huge chunk than any other industry. No field can give permanent job opportunity, we have to make our own which need skills and efforts too.

Economics can be useful but you may learn things which can open thousands of ways that you never thought of then you can make your own path. To be successful financially one must have deep understanding about economics and geopolitics.

Maybe what I am going to say will be sounding snubbish and arrogant but I think there are no courses out there which would be considered good enough to be helping most people out. There are some "basics" which could be helpful, even binance has those and yes you could learn the basic concepts of it a bit but when it comes to learning more about trading for example then suddenly nothing looks good. They are either all too complicated for a newbie, or they are too wrong and explaining it very badly.

I think the more advanced you become, the less material you could find and it is all about experience that you gain from trading, that will be the only thing that will benefit you. That should be the most important part.

What I can advise them is to choose the course they like, not because your parents want your course to be like this, you will follow it immediately. Follow what you want, where you will bloom, you know what your abilities and talents are. This is what happened to me, my parents wanted me to become a seaman because my father was also a seaman. I enrolled and chose seaman and that's when the wrong thing started in my life. I don't go to school anymore and I stopped because I really wanted something else.
So choose the course you want, what others say is just a suggestion.

Indeed, everyday economic actions are a natural part of life, and people often navigate their choices based on practical considerations. Formal economic education can provide a more comprehensive framework that helps people make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls. Studying economics in depth not only strengthens personal foundations but can also contribute to broader societal benefits.

A deeper understanding of economic principles allows individuals to actively participate in economic discussions, contribute to policy decisions, and potentially contribute to the betterment of the country's economy. While day-to-day economic decisions may not always require a formal understanding of economic theory, a solid educational background in economics can provide valuable insights and skills that go beyond immediate needs that fosters a more informed and capable citizenry.

Whether a course is good or bad really depends on who is running the course, if we take a course just by following other people because we see they can be successful while we follow it normally, of course we won't be as successful as them, because we only take the course for a reason. following other people there is very little chance that we will not be able to finish well what we have started.

Yes, basic economics can indeed be learned from the external environment, but to become an expert they have to study at a university level because it doesn't make sense if we don't have a university education and become an economics expert.

if its just every day life dealing with trades using fiat to get some stuff, then definitely there's no need to learn economy or study the course, but when it comes to macro economic and micro economic, as well as financing, it apparent that the need to study further about economy has become obvious.
there's always certain formula to determine whether an economic gonna be hitting crisis or not, whether we can analyze some early signs of economy and so on i think it definitely needed in certain field.
after all if we are just talking about basic, of course no need to commit that much time and effort to learn.
but when it comes to advanced topic, understanding of the knowledge as a whole is becoming much more needed.

Choosing a university course is all about what lights a fire in you. If you're fascinated by the digital world and problem-solving, jump into computer science or data science. They're booming with opportunities in AI, cybersecurity and data nowadays

Well if that was the main reason, then with the internet, all kind of study is easily accessible , and with other technology almost anyone can practice anything,

Now, is nothing worth studying, in formal education and university?

I tend to disagree, sure you can learn any skills or knowledge on your own independently, but in University and Formal Education you will be guided personally by someone with experience, and they will make you learn the fundamental, step-by-step, comprehensively and coherently, you won't get that if you learn practicing by yourself or just from the Internet. You will meet fellow student who has the same interest, you will assisted and assessed, so you can montiro your improvement and growth.

Courses are necessary because just experience from the surrounding does not have any beneficial impact on your luck therefore you should must read the courses which are compulsory to become an economists. You can get knowledge and skills from the courses about economics but you also need some experience therefore visualising activities in surrounding as well as reading courses both are necessary.

The basic materials and basic learning is only possible with the help of courses but if someone don't want to give importance to it then i think it is just just misconception that without courses they will become an economists.

Studying economics is not bad. But economics is easy to learn from external environment. Because book language makes things difficult.  But it is better if one can manage the reading of books.  By doing this he can become an economist which is not possible from the education he gets from the surrounding environment.  Reading about any subject is not a bad thing.  There are many large companies whose CEOs have no formal education and yet have managed to do business well and have reached the pinnacle of growth.

No, no matter what happened, I will still pick the course and school I currently have. You know, every person has a reason why they choose the course and school they have, so no matter what people say, if that course is picked by you without regret, then so be it. No matter what course you've picked, your future will depend on how you do in life. If you choose economics, it's a good course because you will learn and study things related to economics. So don't question yourself just because of some video; you know why you chose your current school and course, so you are the one who will answer your question also. I myself chose the course of IT because I know it has a good future. We all have different preferences in life, so don't be affected by what others say; follow what you've desired because you have something that will build your future.

Honestly I would tell myself to go back and get my MBA in Information Systems, I would take coding classes as well and learn all about network exploits and hacker bounties. I would definitely go back and take the photography courses. Honestly the International business class I loved in college so I don't see taking some more economics to be a bad thing. I had to take Micro and Macro econ but I definitely wish I would have spent some more time on that. Not that you can't just look it up on the Khan academy anytime, we should always be learning!

I would ask them to follow the subject that keeps them awake at night thinking of possibilities in it and things that make them scream "cool".

One should never force someone to study a course, times change and demands change too - a few subjects will always remain relevant no matter what but many are just created by universities to get money and the people doing it are doing it just for the sake of getting the degree and join a job somewhere.

Pursue your dreams and do that course that allows you to realize that dream.

After the economy is not possible to acquire all education must acquire some knowledge from the outside world. From courses to choosing a university you will know everything from just books. In addition to books you should know about other courses online courses are creating great opportunities for them. You can take course certificates from online platforms if you wish.

I would suggest people to take more lessons or courses on Agriculture. Because I want to see the world green again and when the younger generation starts to enjoy planting plants and farming, I think food conditions will start to improve and there will be no more hunger or food crises in this world. Because right now what I'm most worried about is the food crisis. I think about this because now in my country the price of staple foods such as rice has started to rise again to a higher level. This is happening because rice stocks here are starting to run low because currently the majority of people are just replanting rice and it still takes a long time to harvest. So during the period before harvest there will be a spike in prices and perhaps it will drop again during the harvest season. And the current problem is that not many of the younger generation want to touch the agricultural sector. In fact, the peak of an economy is food and food can exist because of the agricultural process.

Anything tech related is a good course to study but right I feel like there's a shift that a lot of us don't know yet and a few feel is happening and I don't think that it's going to be enough to just have one college degree, you might also benefit from getting an apprenticeship from a trade school or maybe even doing those vocational courses that's still related to technology like computer servicing, automotive, electronic engineering and maybe even plumbing because right now, I feel like there's too many college graduates but too few skilled workers.

It's upto an individual and also the behaviour changes from one region to another, for example there are countries like India & Pakistan where the first choice of students are Engineering related to information technology in particular or if they have financial support they opt to become doctor these are the top preference and economics is not a top priority for them as they are fed with thoughts that only two professions which is engineers and Doctors earns respectable income which is true to an extend but economics is a base which can be applied to all the domains hence I would say everyone should know atleast a bit of economics studies.

If you are talking about life choices, what good for Mr A may not good for Mr B, what I mean is that, you don't force students or your children against their choice because if you advice that student or child to study economic in school and the student is not good in that particular course, what do you think will happen to that student future. If your children are good in other courses in school to become a doctor or lawyer, just allow them but ensure you impart them about cryptocurrency investment if you have the skills because there are many graduate in this forum with different courses are they are doing well. Some used this forum to achieved their purpose by established their field they study in the higher institution through the money they made from signature campaign or cryptocurrency investment.

I can only say that vocational courses is enough depending on what is their skill choice. Welding, plumbing, legal asistant, sounds and video technician, auto mechanic, HVAC mechanic and carpentry has higher rate of wage than that needs having a degree as we can only avail this specific skills in a technical school that will only last for more or less than six months. Less time, effort and money but has high rate salary.

It is a bit of a dilemma really, because universities increasingly see and treat their students are a business enterprise. The more people they can hook in and train, the more money they are able to get for this "business". This leads to an explosion in courses which offer questionable value and may not be worth the money in the long term, or simply flooding the market with too many people for a niche topic. However it has also created a situation where unless you board the train or play the game, you will always be at a disadvantage in the jobs market against candidates who can put any form of qualification on their CV - like a university degree of any kind. Even lower entry level jobs these days are (sometimes unreasonably) expecting these sort of candidates.

Well people have different means to  educate someone,and understanding varies.But I don't think learning or choosing economics as a major educational degree is bad.Economics is really broad and vast, Economics plays a role in our everyday life,Studying economics enables us to understand past, future and apply them to societies, governments, businesses and individuals.Studying and understanding economics is important as it applies to all sectors of life including finance,banking,businesses and many more.
   Looking at the world from the past,from now and even to the future,economical instability and insecurities is the major bane to global crisis and it seems to be increasing as time goes on.I know its not easy to acquire all the academic knowledge but it's important for you to be responsible for your finances,it just puts you in charge and constantly restrict financial failure.

I like that opinion, you should allow your kids to find what is suit them. Like what you mentioned not becuase it is good for certain students meaning to say it may also fit to your own child, better to let them explore and guide them to whatever they think will be fit for them, where they can excel and perform what they are desire for their future.

In terms of crypto investment, if you have deeper knowledge about it, you can share that knowledge without compromising to what your children would like to be, it's an additional information where if you can guide them the right way it will be very beneficial for your kids.

looking at current developments, every university must be able to provide knowledge that can indeed improve the economy of a country and can develop industry that can benefit all society, so the appropriate course to give to every student is the technology section because this program is really needed for developing our country in the economic sector, but this must all be followed by their respective abilities, because the technology sector has its own experts and only a few people are able to do it, and later they can develop their own business if their abilities are met.

Whatever course we choose to study, it is an achievement for us. So if you have a course you want to study, you choose it because you know and believe in yourself that you can complete it. That means there is no reason for you to listen to what others say, because that is just one of the reasons that can be used to stop you from taking the course you have chosen.

It just means that you should turn a deaf ear and ignore what other people have to say, even if it's negative about the course you're studying. So, stand by what you chose.

You probably didn't understand his point and what he was trying to say. What he meant was probably that economics is something that a person can learn by experience as it's something we have in our lives as a normal thing, for example, do you learn how to eat in school? No, you learn it by practice at home when your parents feed you and you learn a lot of other things just like that, so he means that one can also learn about economics in that way.

I might not completely agree with him because I believe everything is important and one should learn everything they can, however, I do understand his point and I would also say that one should try and learn a course that they know they wouldn't learn if they don't enrol themselves in that course specifically.

Thing is there's no definitive gauge to determine how "worthy of studying your course is" cause as long as it doesn't talk about how profound Taylor Swift's music (and I shit you not the top university in the Philippines is somehow offering a lecture/course on this fucking deranged concept) is there would be a market for your area of expertise. More so with the economics world. So in that regard I say your course is worthy of studying and grinding for the degree on through and through.

Plus the job market changes drastically from decades to decades. Once we thought of the internet as a cultural fad that would fade off in a few year's time, now we're at the cusp of a new age completely run by the internet of things, opening job opportunities for people who specialize in this degree (except Comp Sci graduates) who are once called nerds or geeks by the people who doesn't understand shit. There's a huge chance that in the future your economics degree could land you a good spot at a firm that needs someone well-versed in the cyclical history of the world economy or something along those lines, don't ever question just how much important or relevant your degree is just cause your dad wants you to be a doctor or an astronaut or something. Do what makes you happy and fulfilled. At the end of the day we study not only to prepare us for the future job we're landing, but for the sake of our mental health as well.

I can't advise people about what courses to choose at university without knowing what they are predisposed to learn. People have to know what they enjoy, in which professional fields they would like to work in order to choose their careers. Many students finish high school without any clues about what to do next, so they just gave up on the idea of attending to a superior education institution, or engage in a determined university just because they were advised by their families to do so. And that is a big mistake, because after few years, they regret about their choices and realize it wasn't what they desired to do.

Every educational areas have their advantages, disadvantages and are demanded by society at some level. In my opinion, people should study what will make them proud and accomplished later. Wages are also important, but they can't be the only factor to take into consideration, otherwise the individual may earn a lot of money, but it won't mean anything in the end, since he will feel bothered, annoyed and stressed by working on something he hates.

In your case, it's a good thing you have chosen economics, as it's a very essential matter of everyone's daily lives. By being a specialist on this area, you will be ahead of most people in the world, and can potentially not only grow your personal patrimony, but also help other people in this process as well. Moreover, don't give too much attention to these coaches from internet's videos saying absurd things, like "you shouldn't study economics". These sensationalist sayings are just clickbait strategies for views.

In fact, we really have to think about ourselves because we are the ones who will live it. and one thing is certain that whatever path we take, of course there will be consequences, and our job is to consider the path we will take, and of course there will be lots of suggestions from other people who think about us, I think all of that is just for us to use as a reference for taking decisions about ourselves, therefore the need for self-confidence

everyone has different passions and desires. just follow according to your hobbies and character desires. then both when studying or in the world of work later you will be comfortable and happy to enjoy lectures or later in the world of work.
if the course is life skills. which provides the ability of knowledge and skills in making money, for example, information technology programing and other courses that provide knowledge and skills to look for money.

Economics is not a bad course to study if you actually know what you are doing and how to effectively apply what you have studied. You might get recommendations to study some courses which are trending and seen as the solution for financial breakthrough but at the end it becomes a waste to you. No course is useless if you actually know how to apply it. There are lots of advantages to be gained from studying economics which includes:

• it influences your decision making especially on issues relating to finance
• it makes you a good financial manager
• you will understand how the world's economy and the market works
• it increases you career prospects

This and many more are the advantages of studying economics. You don't have to jump on just any course simply because people are praising it. Before choosing any course, study your environment closely and ask yourself "what problem will I be able to solve in my environment? This will help you decide what course to go for. Note that you should also consider your abilities before choosing a course.

For practicality, I can say business related majors since there's a lot of opportunities. Businesses are everywhere and these companies need employees who will work for them. Finance, marketing, human resource, and IT. Competition are becoming more difficult but in these field, there's a lot of opportunities or job you can find. They are in demand as well so it'll be easier compared to other majors.
But if you want high paying jobs or those with bigger opportunities in terms of salary, building your skills is a must. One of the field I can think of is graphic design, as well as IT... Economics isn't bad tho. I'm actually interested to learn more about economy and I think studying economy can really be interesting.

We focus too much on output after studying economics even though everything needs to be assessed from various points of view. The point is don't feel like blaming yourself for the decisions you have taken because basically you were too rigid in responding to a statement. However you only need to do what you can do today carry out the decision to answer every anxiety portion of the decision of your lecturer the person in the video and you personally will definitely have a different perspective. Economy is important but it depends on you.

Funny how I'm so in love with economics. When a country gets the economics right and makes the right economic and political policies, then a majority of its problems have already been solved.

I disagree that economics is made difficult for study purposes. IMO, your lecturer is wrong there. I won't say it's difficult, but it's complicated. It's complicated because you're dealing with so many different factors, but that's what makes it so interesting. Yeah, we do need economics in our daily life, but it's way deeper than that.

The way I see it, whoever is advising anybody not to do a course is also wrong. Nobody has a right to tell people what to do and what not to do.
People should be allowed to do whatever course they want to do. Do what you're good at, do what you like. Pursuing things you don't have any passion for gets very difficult along the way.
Maybe some disciplines are more important than others, but I don't believe any course is inferior.
When you're studying a field you enjoy, it would make you push further and keep getting better.

We have many economist today both in PhD' yet we still find some countries facing economy crisis why because they implement their course of study into reality because if they do, today all nation could have been waxing greatly but this we finds hardship in some of the third world countries especially Africa (Nigeria). The only benefits I know studying economics would be to someone who sturdy's it is to help him or her becoming and entrepreneur and could manage his or her business carefully but can't handle the world economic problems. If so Nigerian wouldn't have been suffering for inflation and economic crisis.

Having knowledge about economics will indeed be very beneficial for someone who can run it well, but the reality that we see is that those who understand the science of economics well do not necessarily mean they can manage their finances. We can say that those who have mastered the theory may not necessarily be able to. carry out the theory that they have mastered well, if indeed those who have good knowledge about the economy can carry out what they know well then this will really help them achieve financial freedom, so in terms of financial management this really depends on discipline someone in managing the expenses they have and how they save part of their income.

When you go to get a higher education, you don’t think about the fact that you will have to save the economy of some country, and of those who receive an economics higher education, not everyone will work in their specialty or open their own business. To be honest, this education will not always help a person get the necessary financial education in order to learn how to competently manage the family budget. But higher education is needed anyway because it can get a better job.

I believe in one thing about life we have talent and some gift of life another man food can be another man poison what favor you can not favour another's. But economist only work in some country  and it don't work in some country because the economy of my nation may not be the same to another nation the best why studying economist is to concentrate on the Nation your coming from, because studying another nation economy where it can never be applied is not advisable, that's why my Nation tody have allot of graduate on economist be no results to show for it our economy keep going down every day. Studying economist be here is just for self gain not recognize in the nation .

I have one in economics also (banks and finance). I can assure you, if a student is good enough - you get immediately a proposal to work from some banks (even while you are still studying).

Are you being honest there? I'm not sure. From the other paragraphs of your post, you expressed a bit of fear and uncertainty studying that course. Why the sudden twist there then? Anyway, it's your choice to make. Ordinary, I would think that Economics isn't such an excluded course to study. It's a day to day thing involving man, his needs and finances. Even those who didn't study it can still take care of their stuff if they're prudent and shrewd. I'm not trying to talk down on that course of study but it's just what it's.

That would be Medicine for me. The reason being that it's about the only course of study where there's no unemployment. Doctors and nurses are in high demand across the globe. Just a first degree (MBSS) is enough to guarantee a job unlike in other disciplines.

Economics is a good course to study, it focuses on abundance and scarcity or demand and supply, also human wants are insatiable and the means to satisfy them are always limited, so it's a study to make priority choices, among the available resources. I'd advise anybody that wants to study economics to go for it, even crypto trading and investment, works with economics concepts, that is why you see charts and curves in crypto analysis just like in economics studies. It's a study of calculating predictions, hypothesis and probabilities of events occuring.

I have seen plenty of people who studied economics in college and got rich, but saw a lot stay poor as well. I have seen people who turned into a capital crazy person who tries to turn money into more money, and I have seen people who had regular jobs at some bank sitting there 8 hours a day for 5 days a week for many years, and yeah they did alright at the end I suppose, but not rich, just decent, nothing crazy, they barely got a car, they can't afford a house, so that is not rich, doing fine so they are not poor and starving, but not being able to afford to buy a house means something not great.

So all in all, studying economics is not the key changing factor, it depends on the person and changes according to anything they do.

Choosing a course is the most important thing so it's advisable everyone should  think carefully before choosing a course, in the modern world when every course seems competitive and without a professional course no one will value your education status.
Economic is not a bad choice but you should consider your society first before making any move, all course are professional courses but sometimes where you find yourself might kill your passion and your working spirit, for example not all course will be of help to the society so the society no longer seek their service while in some country people choose their course base on their ability to handle the course, this is just the right decision, always go for the course you have full assurance of having high grades not the one you can't handle with the learning process.
If I'm to advice anyone in terms of choosing a course I will prefer the medical department and computer science, looking at the world today it seems the world can't move forward without medical doctors and new invented technologies, in essence technology has taken over the world and it's best to be part of the benefit.

Instead of fostering unproductive comparisons, we should recognize and celebrate the interdependence of all professions within the complex tapestry of society.

Each profession plays a unique and vital role, contributing to the collective well-being and progress of society. From the critical analysis of economists to the meticulous attention to detail of accountants, each individual leverages their specialized skills to contribute to a larger whole.

Furthermore, these professions are not isolated entities. They interact and collaborate in a dynamic ecosystem, enriching and supporting each other's endeavors. Lawyers rely on contracts drafted by engineers, businesses seek economic insights from economists, and engineers require the financial expertise of accountants. The true value of any profession lies not in its ranking, but in its ability to contribute to the betterment of society as a whole.

We need more information about that person and details about the context where he made that statement because having a basic financial education is the most important thing in a person's life if he wants to have stable financial health. The economy is also a part of that financial education so that person is wrong. People have different points of view and the meaning of a statement changes based on the place and time they were mentioned. Sometimes a statement holds a metaphoric meaning.

Don't let anybody opinion with regards to  your course of study demoralize you, Economic is a very good course and I believe the speaker who discourage people not to study Economic should be specific with his advice possibly in his country there might be few opportunity for Economist which prompted his interview, however in my country a graduate Economist can be employ by any bank provided that such graduate pass out with a very good grade and other financial institutions too sought after that profession if the graduate has other relevant certifications that is another big advantage for such a graduate.

Indeed, choosing a major depends on each of you, what is important when choosing a major is that you have two points of view, what and who.
What
1. What lesson do you like?
2. What lessons do you actually know from the roots?

Who
1. Who do you want to be in the next 5-10 years?
2. What profession would you like to have?
3. What do you want to work for and as whom?
4. Interested in working for which company?

But of course this economics lesson really changes someone's life dreams, making them enthusiastic about learning. because they know that economics will definitely be useful no matter how long it takes. Yep, it's true, if economics teaches about choosing the best options to achieve the greatest profit and satisfaction with the smallest possible effort, it can create financial freedom in the future.

It's clear that you're really confident in your understanding of Economics, even when others doubt it. Everyone has different perspectives on what they need, including those who say they don't need Economics like you do. I still agree with you... the world of Economics is vast, and the goal of learning is to understand it from various angles. So, you're not wrong here.

And haven't you heard of someone called an Economics Expert? Like Adam Smith. He kept studying Economics even though some people see it as a basic subject done out of habit.

If I were to recommend a major in university, I'd lean towards language and public speaking. My subjective reason is that language and public speaking play a significant role in leadership. But even though our recommendations differ, I see it as a way to complement each other. Because Economics still needs someone to run it.

Why did you have to think that you made the wrong choice, I don’t know what the person that made the video thinks that made him say studying economics is a waste of time, I won’t say studying any course is a waste of time, every course is having advantages, because other people doesn’t see the use, those not mean it doesn’t have use, so don’t have to be scared or feel bad, just focus on your study, have seen many videos online that criticize some certain courses, but I just see it’s their opinion, and some of those people make those videos just because they are looking for content to post on their social medias.

Go for the STEM courses, that's probably the best of them all especially when it comes to an ever changing landscape in terms of technology, you're better off becoming a part of that innovation rather than that of something stagnant, you don't have to worry about anything though as STEM covers a lot of courses so you've got a lot to choose from. Make sure that you want to get into college though as you might not like the idea of being miserable for something you don't want to do in the first place.

Your statement about picking a course based on societal value and personal talent is correct, but simplistic. Doctors and software geniuses are revered, but to think they're the only ones worth pursuing is short-sighted. Economics is basic, not just "not a bad choice" as you said. Understand this: Every course and discipline contributes to society

Not what's valued now but what shapes the future. There's more to it than great grades. Consider what challenges you and builds a varied, resilient society. The world doesn't "move forward" on one profession. Variety and the distinctive contributions of all areas fuel it. Remember to shape tomorrow's world, not today's. Choose wisely, but think beyond the obvious

Everything depends on the desires and potential that exist within oneself.
As the OP said, we have the same opportunity to be able to advise/give advice to others on things that are worth learning.
STEM courses are also very good and there are many choices that can be taken according to your desires and abilities, but my advice is that the difficult thing to find is your potential, so it is important to explore this first.

I get your point and that's statement is valid, it's going to depend from where the person's location and how serious the economy from that place, it's going to be a case to case basis and advising is something that needs to be relevant to whatever the place and the economy is moving, there's a need of deeper knowledge if you wanted to have some edge in terms of line of business that you wanted to be part with, taking courses that will allow you to enhance your idea will really give you the aid that you need to extend your opportunities.

Plus, if you graduated from certain course the chance of being hired is also your edge, better to balance and weight that statement it's your own opinion and how you adopt the knowledge.

Learning or taking economic courses is not a bad thing, precisely good. Yes, economics is also a science that we can apply in real life. People/students who study economics will understand everything related to the price of goods and services. Selan too, they will understand how economic standards vary greatly in every region and even the country. So from economics is also very close to its use to life in the real world.
Learning or economic courses will train the parties to directly practice their knowledge in real life. The economy has a variety of valuable skills. Like, skills in critical thinking, mastering literacy in general, gaining insight into the mechanism of state resources and the environment in general, and improving communication and calculation skills. And allows career opportunities to be more diverse. Such as banks, accounting companies, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, labor detection, hospital administration, and statistics and maybe many others.

Well, I get what you want to say. The problem with Economics is:

1. Not everybody who studies this discipline learns to effectively manage his own wealth. Consumer society pushes us all in the wrong direction, and students of Economics aren't immune (in fact, they usually are quite competitive, and that leads to the desire of spending more in order to appear successful to others).

2. Those who didn't study Economics but are sensible can perfectly manage their money. The problem is that common sense is not the most common of the senses.

So management has more to do with attitude and early education rather than with a course or degree you study when you're too old to change. Of course, I'm talking about personal/family wealth, if you want to know about macro or micro you have to study.

for me, considering what's relevant in today society is very necessary before deciding in the course one should study. But I would choose either of these three;
1. Agriculture related course
2. Business related course
3. computer related course
The main reason why I will go for any of these option is because at the moment, being self employed is the best option one can consider now because for most developing countries, most graduate don't end up being employed in the course they studied but going into any of the field above will put you in a better position to use the little knowledge you must have gathered in school I start up something for yourself after graduation.

More people studying economics will not make a country's economy better. Can you see how many economics graduates there are nowadays? In my country alone there are hundreds of thousands of people every year who graduate with a bachelor's degree in economics, does this make my country's economy improve? No. Because they only study theory and master it, but in practice they are like babies who don't know anything, because economics is not just about theory but how it is implemented which not everyone can do.

If you're newer to bitcoin / cryptocurrency and would like to join a course/workshop, I know that Andreas Antonopoulos is currently offering a course- https://aantonop.com/workshops/introduction-to-bitcoin-and-open-blockchains/

"Learn the basics of Bitcoin and Open Blockchains from industry expert Andreas M. Antonopoulos. In this course Andreas will walk you through what Bitcoin is, explain how to get and use bitcoin, how the bitcoin price is derived, the transaction timeline and more. While this course is not a prerequisite for any of the other workshops courses, it is designed to give you a solid foundation of understanding for your open blockchain learning.

As with all Pragma Workshops, this course focuses on practical skills training and includes activities like quizzes and/or supplemental materials in every lesson".

Andreas is the number one person who's taught myself about bitcoin and it's inner workings.  He's helped countless people do the same.  IMO there might be no better one person to learn from than Andreas, so definitely worth looking in to IMO.

When I was in college, I had the opportunity to take economics classes. I was a science student, but we were allowed to choose one or two subjects from the arts or commercial fields to supplement our science subjects; while economics is a social science subject, we were primarily interested in pure science. I really enjoyed the course, and it was one of my best subjects in college, earning good grades. Fast forward to my university days, where I studied science and have had no opportunity to learn more about economics until now. The little I knew in the past aided my financial management. 

Now that I've graduated from school, finding work in the field I studied has become a major challenge because a lot of work experience is required to even gain entry into a reputable place to work in the country. Looking at my classmates who studied social science and art, they have a better chance of getting hired before me because they are in high demand right now and can get entry-level jobs right away, even if they don't have much work experience. If I could go back in time, I would study a social science course such as economics, management, or art because they are in high demand and have a better chance of finding work quickly these days.

Exploring our own potential actually won't be that difficult as long as we have the will and ability to know what we can do with something we have mastered. Because someone can certainly judge themselves in this matter, especially if they have previously taken a course that can direct them to become better in life, even though some people may still not be able to give advice to others. However, that doesn't mean that some people can't see opportunities and use them well for themselves, because everyone will definitely care more about themselves before starting to care about other people in any case.

Agree. Exploring your true potential, the most important thing is to have the will. Because actually why do we sometimes focus more on weaknesses than strengths. Because we feel unappreciated or humiliated, this makes us prioritize our weaknesses. one of the reasons we prioritize weaknesses is that we don't want to get out of our comfort zone.

To find out our potential. Many people focus on their weaknesses to the point of forgetting their strengths. (The impact: we often make wrong decisions, and are not confident. And often feel dissatisfied with the efforts we make). Many people think that potential is their subordinate from birth, so many people feel hopeless. In fact, one's potential can be explored and studied. For example, when you do something well, enjoy doing something without pressure, and have your own satisfaction when doing it.
But in essence these three things can be learned. The important thing is that you believe you can change and move forward first, then you will discover your potential.

I am just kind of surprised that someone said Economics is a useless course. I don’t really know why the person said so, maybe if I can hear the reason why the person said the course is a useless one, but all I know is that the Op shouldn’t feel bad, the course is a nice one, which I do encourage people to study. So just keep on studying and don’t be discouraged by what other people say about your course. Study what you have passion for and don’t listen to people.
 
Some people don’t even know much about what they end up saying, maybe the person doesn’t even know much about the course and decides to criticize it. I don’t even think any course should be criticized because all courses are useful in one way or another.

I agree with you, in my environment there are many young people who are trapped in their comfort zone, so they are reluctant to move forward to experience change. even though it is for their own good and not for anyone else's. I think young people today still have a high sense of pride so they are reluctant to take action that triggers change, not many young people have the will to be able to look for new things on their own, many young people today are already at home in their comfortable situation even though it doesn't generate any profit.

Occasionally I have heard "searching for identity" often said by parents who are advising their children or young people who are gathered together. I think that sentence is true, we must live with a purpose where finding one's identity is one of the goals in life. It's true what you say  we have to have confidence in ourselves first to be able to change for the better  then only then can we explore the potential that exists within us to make changes for the better.

Having probably thought thoroughly and then making a decision about a field to study, a field you probably like and want to study, why allow a random guest speaker in a 5-10 minutes video initially make you jittery, bringing in doubts about your choices and giving you second thoughts on the field you’ve thought about and chosen to study?
It’s a good thing you watched till the end where the speaker went on to explain further what he meant that finally put your mind at ease.

If I’m to help coach someone on what field to study, I’ll seek to understand first what that he enjoys doing. What subjects he finds interesting, his attention span and how fast/or easily he assimilates what is being taught. I’ll then make a recommendation based on what I observed. Plainly put, find out what the person enjoys doing and choose a field that suits.

Skills come highly recommended and despite the field one is studying, it’s advisable to acquire some important skills as well.

A career in tech is always a good choice from a financial standpoint. With a lot of things heading towards digitization, it's a great opportunity to learn about different tech stacks and see which path is suitable for you. I wanted to break into tech a decade before I got my degree. Where I'm at, there's good money, but you have to have years upon years of experience to make huge bucks. Whereas in the tech field, be good in one stack and a lot of companies will rush at you in a moment's notice. Of course, layoffs are pretty common too, but heck, you can market yourself as a freelancer and can still make that same money or even more as a consultant!

I go with your point of view, having that knowledge it's something that companies are aiming to have with your skills and ability and with how you are going to sell yourself taking that path will allow you to earn decently, digital era is fast approaching having the sets of skills and knowledge it will be easier to sell your idea and from that client will allow you to continue learning as it will also help them to improve their services or products that you are working with them.

More knowledge from your choosen venue allows you to incorporate your interest and your skills, you should have that broad understanding and good perspectives with how you use it for your own benefits.

Studying means that you can become a great man, not really studying but you have to sharpen your wits or you have to have experience.  In that case a person who does not study.  But he has work experience and he has business experience so he can do business but he has to keep a separate manager to do his accounting because he doesn't know accounting.  And the reason for not knowing the account is that he has not studied. In that case, your study is definitely important. In that case, if you knew the study, then your account would not have been saved because you could have calculated yourself, you could have run the system yourself.  Studying does not cause you any harm or loss. Studying increases your temporary general knowledge. Your head knowledge increases. You can do your business. You are dependent on others.  In that case, wherever you watch the video, you will see the power of the video that from the end of the video, it is clearly stated that you need to study.

When we talk about job opportunities and market saturation, subjects in business-related majors are better choices as you said, because you can easily find jobs if you have done your major in business-related subjects. After all, almost every business requires employees who can manage their finances, human resources, management sectors, and a bunch of other areas. Even if you don't get a lot of money, you will at least have job availability at most times.

If we strive for higher earning opportunities and are ready to face the high competition, we should go for science-related majors and subjects such as software engineering, IT, electrical, and a bunch of other subjects that if you major in, you will be able to demand higher salaries but there will be less opportunities and more competition, of course.

I also graduated from the economics department but i carried out activities that were the opposite of the lessons i got in college lol, actually it's not the choice of subjects that makes someone successful, success comes from oneself and also ambition, in fact i see a lot of people those who didn't go to college succeeded in their lives because they successfully implemented the economics they learned autodidactically in the businesses they ran.

I advise teenagers to choose a college major according to their interests so that they can master there, but to be successful you need ethics and consistency, because success doesn't come overnight, but over many years and is well maintained.

Let's be honest here there are some courses where when you finish something like Law, Engineer, or Doctor is for sure going to be a huge pay when it comes to salary compared to other courses and it is true for sure it happened, Still, I wouldn't say that you need your diploma first if you actually want to be rich something like that because I've seen a lot of people or probably most of the rich people I guess didn't really finish there diploma.

We could probably just say that there are some courses that didn't really have good opportunities or doesnt have a good salary in some courses, learning Economics for sure is a good course and probably there are only a few people who actually finish it compared to other courses that are why they are probably in-demand in some areas.

I guess if you're going to choose any course, I could easily recommend Tech related courses like Information Technology, software engineering, Web developers, Programming, etc. Since technology is always evolving you could easily land on a good paying job as long as you have the skills, I would say that it is probably very difficult for some people since you always need to keep on learning new things just to keep up with the technology, considering we have Blockchain Technology, I've seen a lot of projects related to Solana network something like that could also be an opportunity.

It is not difficult to be able to explore the potential that exists within ourselves and we can see what we like and can benefit ourselves and if we have found what can make us feel comfortable in doing this then this we can continue so that we become experts in that field and when we have become experts in that field we will be able to easily gain expertise in that field so that we will be able to earn income, because everyone who wants to learn a skill field of course they want it to be easy earn income.

In my opinion, the lessons learned in school or college are not related to work, I myself majored in photography, but after graduating from education I worked in a coffee shop, until now I am pursuing work as a coffee brewer or barista, although occasionally I also using my photographer skills. It's true what you said that success depends on yourself and your ambitions. If you really want to be successful then we will try to do our best. Lessons learned at school or college cannot be used as a benchmark for success.

That's true, as I said above, I majored in photography, worked in a coffee shop, but my interest was in the world of mechanics, this didn't spread. but because it was to improve my financial situation, I did what I found as work. I agree with you, that to be successful we must be consistent with the dreams and goals we have. and of course to be able to achieve success it is not possible instantly, it takes a long time because there are processes and stages, but just believe that effort will not fail.

It does not necessarily have to be that gloomy. Of course to make ends meet, we all have to do things that we are not proud of but dont let that weigh you down.

Maybe in the near future you will be able to save your earnings from the coffee shop job to start your own joint promoted with the help of your own clicked pictures and then get that mechanical degree down the line and use that build the next state of the art coffee machine?

Or maybe not, but that dont matter, what matters is that your tried to live life your way.

I think what you are referring to above is that the most useful knowledge after college are the characters we develop along the way (i.e. perseverance, resilience, patience, being teachable, etc).  The theoretical knowledge that we learn regarding our course are nothing compared to the virtues that we acquire.

I am a Civil Engineering graduate and currently practicing it but also studying my post-graduate degree in Development Economics at the same time.  During the course of our life, we may shift our interest from one thing to another, or pursue a different career path than the degree we got after graduating college.  However, the virtues that we acquire are still within us. 

As one of my bosses always say, skills can be learned and a newbie can be taught about technical things.  However, character cannot be changed in a small period of time.  Hence, always choose good character employees than highly skilled ones that cannot be trusted.

Of course, that goes without saying that you should go for what you like to do and not what the others tell you to take but I'm giving OP at the least the knowledge that STEM will always be a big industry because innovation in technology doesn't stop because it's parallel with the progress of humanity after all. It's important to explore but there should come a time that OP needs to decide what path to take.

The course you will take in your studies is not the basis for moving up in life, but you are right, the STEM strand is also good, especially if the career path you want to take is more on innovation, programming and mathematics, Especially now that almost everyone is in the digital and marketing world, jobs related to the strand you suggested to OP are in deman, but as you said, the decision is still OP's, it's better for him to get advice from other people, but he needs to weigh what course he really wants to take.

because everyone will understand the basics of economics if only a few are interested, then a country will only be filled with a few super rich people because they are the ones who control everything.
But it cannot be blamed that everyone's interests are different.
not everyone is interested in the same field.

I think it's a personal thing for everyone to take courses. A person who likes the subject and has interest and enthusiasm should take that course. Since he has to study the subject institutionally for a long period of time, his own well-being is very important. Because if you are not interested in a course but you take the course for various reasons then it will create adverse effect on you. As a result you will not be able to get any good results from it at the end of the day. So for which subject you take up you must consider your interest and you can only take courses in that subject which you are good at  And you must be patient.

untill a developing nation likewise put her educational system in it right shape, I don't think going to the university in my country is a necessity.

What people actually need is basic education that prepares them for a particular field they will have to venture into and not another four to five years in the higher institution that ends up becoming unprofitable because you end up learning nothing during those number of years and after coming out of the university thier is no guarantee at all that you are going to be gainfully employed. The once that end up being employed are paid peanuts as though all the effort they had put in to study the course is worthless.

Economics to me is a great subject that is required mostly in some fields of study but when some is not involved they will not see the impact of it, in our country when writing any finally exams in our secondary school they put more emphasis on economics after mentioning some important subjects like for science students, Mathematics, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Physics the next one will be economics, if really a student concentrate in what they have had been thought in economics and they try to practice it, it make life easier because it will help the students in times of spending, like me, one words in economics I like using well is "scale of preference" truly it is helping me in my life right now and I am enjoying using it because it always guide me on how to spend my money.

In my own opinion I will advise the person to go for course that will make him/her self employ, since in our country now getting job is the second most hardest thing after money that is first, my reason for that is because they are some courses that if studied it can not be practice after the graduation if they are not employed. I will advise the person to go for first Engineering field or Environmental field, this is based on my opinion and my opinion doesn't matter, it based on my understanding.

Sometimes our interests can switch when we see one thing that attracts us, because of course the journey will not always go as expected. Sometimes we also get a job that is not in accordance with the major we studied,  but because of the economic situation that makes us take the job whether we want it or not, we have to run But however it is true what you say the virtue we gain is still there Also after graduating from college I think it's time to have an income even though the job we get is not in accordance with our wishes, we should be able to adapt.

It is true that character cannot be changed in a short time character is a characteristic of a person that is owned But skills can be learned with our own willpower in order to understand what will be done. Because if there is no will it will not happen.

A sad reality, as even if you spend 4–5 years on your education, there's no assurance, as competitions are really tough, you need to have an extra edge against your fellow graduates, in terms of preparation, curriculum that will help you to better understand whatever field you think you are fit will do, as we can see the opportunities nowadays, it's more on technology and having said, focusing your attention to what part of the technology might be fit for you will be the best course that will help you to be a competitive once you finish your education,

Not an easy task though, as you need to look for your interest in order to have that focus and, aside from taking the course, the enjoyment of learning and the application of your course will give you a better overview of what job you'll be going to take after finishing your course.

True, technology is an unending trend based on where the world is headed, so anyone from any field of life must have the know-how of technology, and if one can learn languages and stuff that are necessary for technological developments, they will be more in demand than their field of work.

However, there is one thing, technology keeps evolving, so things don't always stay the same, which might become troublesome for people who aren't mainly from a technological field because a person with a technological background might be able to adapt to the changes very easily while someone that has a different background will have difficulties accepting the changes and having their mind change according to it.

In the end, this gap must be owned and this is like what is happening now in investing where we should never regret our decision. And also maybe we never thought Bitcoin would reach more than 51K before after the big correction last year at that time and now we have to move on. From this condition, don't make the same mistake and collect as many bitcoins from now on as possible and this is also an economic lesson for sure.

The country is a holistic thing. That is as there is economy there is also management there is science there is society there is history etc. So all subjects are important for study. Now the question is if a person comes to me for advice on which subject to choose in university? In that case, my opinion would be of a different kind. A student should study that subject in which he has an interest love and passion. If he has interest and love for a subject it will be much easier for him to study that subject as he will quickly master and acquire that subject. So he will give something good in that regard.

This course might looks useless in a less developed region or developing nations. I don't see much value in this course but there are countries where this course could be very useful and you can make a living from it. We need to study course that would give us an edge after we graduate from the university not studying courses like political science because to me, it has not much value in the society and there might be no job available for anyone studying such course. It is good if we have the intention to focus somewhere while studying and we don't have any serious plan to use the course for anything seriously or looking for a job.

What you said is true but you should also know that economics is about calculation and calculation involves in every aspect of technology, technology is part of calculation, all you mentioned is part of economics, some people think that as a person that studied economics in school you must be part of the economy of a country or you will be stingy because it is assumed that people who studied economics knows the value of money but in real sense is not like that.

The digitalization if the world come with everything and economics is part of it, so it is a fact that economics as study is in line with the recent technology.

You should really try to find a balance between something you find interesting and something that could give you a reasonably financially rewarding career. Money is not everything and you are more likely to burn out if you are not interested in the course, or long term the subject. You should also consider the amount of competition in the sector, because if you're doing a super easy course with few jobs available, then youl may end up finding the degree outcome to be worth much less than you paid to attain it. All these things are very hard to calculate when you're younger.

i think that economists help the economy of a country, where they can help in various financial and banking sectors, and contribute their knowledge to the development of the country. however, the more economists in that country will not make the country's economy better, because again they only help contribute the economic knowledge they learn to the sectors in that country, the economic development of a country depends on the top level leaders in the country. the. because no matter how many economists there are in that country, if the policy makers in that country are stupid, then it's in vain.

As far as I am concerned economists cannot do anything other than develop some general information and knowledge about economics. The economy may be too tough to study. Economists may need to be comfortable working with data constraints such as not having enough information or not having a specific set of data at hand. In addition economists often have to predict the future which can be very vague and unpredictable.

Besides studying, those who talk about business can achieve success one day. You need to have capital or your mental knowledge.  But if you don't study or if you want to do business without studying then you will never be able to do it, I see that I study.  Nowadays marketing is good profit if you want or if you have idea if you can then you can definitely do something good.  But nowadays it is such a situation that people can never make anyone successful but if you study then study will never be unfair to you or your education will never be unfair to you.

I think in all ages, the masses have railled blames on the constituted Government for policy failures. It is this nature of argument that is anchored on leadership. This demonstrates that  the leadership has failed the public.  Again, among the courses in the university that could play justice to the study of leadership is Political science.
Therefore, I would ernestly advise someone seeking admission in to a university to study political science under the faculty of social sciences

My personal opinion is that there is a need to study economics and not just a course that gives little understanding of economics. It should be a research report or study about the world economy from which people can learn about the economy of the whole world and how a country can prosper. Managing the economy in today's world is much more difficult because the entire world economy is currently booming. I think every man should have clear knowledge about the economy, because if he has clear knowledge about the economy then he can manage the economy very well in his family life.

I studied economics but if I could return back, I would study informational technologies because there is a very high competition among those who finish Business management and economics and because of this competition, salaries are very low. In overall, economics is a necessary, people should know how economy and money works in order to gain financial advantage and not struggle in their life but life doesn't work the way we study in universities. In universities, they don't talk much about shady business practices, what happens behind the scenes and how dark the business is.
University course about economics is only good to become a hired person, that's all about it.

Those who have studied economics in college may not necessarily be able to apply what they have learned in their daily lives and what is very important for everyone is to be able to manage their finances well because this is not an easy thing to do. carried out by each person and related to courses that are worth studying, of course this really depends on each individual and we cannot force other people to study a field that they really don't like, of course they won't be able to finish what they started, but we can suggest other people if they like it, of course they will follow what we suggest.

I wouldn’t downgrade any one’s course choice of study because I wouldn’t say any one is bad to be studied. Everybody either male or female has right to study whatever they want so if I’m to give anyone advice on what to study I’ll make known to the person how important the course is to either personal life , economics, the society and so on.

The reason is because for me I don’t pick any course of study as bad or not useful the most important thing is know the importance and disadvantages of the course so long as you’re comfortable with it go ahead and study it you’ll make a great living out of it so far you studied well and know what you’re doing

Sincerely I think everybody have right to what ever course they like to study, because at every point of our life. What ever we learn will play it’s role in our life. So I think even economics is not a bad one

It depends on the country you live in. It can also depend on what you want to do. If you want to work in an international field, if you do not have any job prospects in your country of residence related to your major and if your major allows you to do international business, you can continue. This choice is directly related to where your field of study is located.

There are people who spend years just to get a graduation certificate or study in a department that is not enough to find a job. It is very important to decide which fields of work you will find in the country you live in and which fields of work you want to work in. Many people drop out of school and switch to other departments. In order not to waste time, it will be more beneficial to analyze the conditions well and at the same time choose the profession you want to do and focus on it.

If you believe that you will be successful, you should not care too much about what others say about your department.

There are also some people who believe that higher education can make them successful, I myself am not too sure about that, the statement is that no matter how high the education we get, if we ourselves don't pursue it then there will be no results. Also, with those who have degrees, I often find that they tend to be arrogant about having that title. In my opinion, degrees and diplomas are only a sign that we have studied, not a guarantee that we can be successful. Success is based on ourselves, whether we have a strong determination to achieve success or not. Moreover nowadays, there are rich people who have so much money they can afford an educational degree. So in my opinion, being successful doesn't just depend on degrees and diplomas.

because in my opinion the reality is different, when we study and take a certain major, sometimes after graduating from school we get a job that is not at all related to the major we chose in education. What you say is true, the key is in ourselves, if we can understand the work we get and are also diligent in carrying it out then that is a good thing, and not everyone can do this.

Those who have studied economics may fail to apply what they've learned or prove their worth in a job. Someone in IT who's a website developer or who's into data analysis has solid work that they can show to prove what they're capable of.

@OP, I've been in your position because I've studied economics, and there are many times that I look back and ask myself what I could have done differently. To be honest, I'm not sure what to answer. If I were to choose another sector, I'd choose something more specific than economics, such as logistics, anything in the IT sector, or even a handyman's skill, such as electrician, mechanic, plumber, and so on. I'm positive that you get my point.

Personally, I'm now after a data analysis course, not sure if it interests me enough to dig further, nor am I expecting to find a job through the course. I'm simply trying to broaden my horizons and see if I can excel at something specific that the job market requires.

Interestly enough, not matter what people study, in the end they will do what they like to do, that is what I have heard from people whoare older and have more experience than I do.
If you like what you study and you actually feel passion for it, then it does not matter what others say or the opinion of others, actually.
I could easily tell you and anyone I encounter about what the best choices for a career are, but that would be the world being seen from my own perspective, not yours.

In the eyes of many, the best and most important people on society are engineers, because they keep things running and make possible our modern way of living, while others will disagree and say Medics/doctors are more important and more awesome because they keep people alive. It is all matter of perspective. In the end, all careers have their own importance, all comes down to what you passion is and what you are willing to do for many years in order to earn money.

I have seen people talking about how Artificial Inteligence could change the job market permanently in the future, though I believe that is a discussion to have in a different thread and on a different occasion.

I totally get what you're saying, Economics is too broad for its own good. I also really considered data analysis, and probably even fell in love with the idea of being an at-home data analyst. Chill life, an organized one at that, have all the time in the world and earn money from the comfort of my study chair. But, in as much as that sounds catchy, I guess I'm also in love with the idea of owning a business. You see, I found this as a result of my country going through an economic crisis, Andi realized after so much studies that the industrial sector in my country is underdeveloped because everybody is just trying to earn online at home and no one is barely coming out to create entrepreneurial ventures anymore. So, I can contribute big time by producing goods people would normally export from outside and help my country.

Anyways, we are not in the same shoes I guess. Pursue your data analysis dreams for both of us, fighting ✊

Good point OP, not in the same shoes since you are also not in the same situation, experienced wise you know what you need to do as you are the one that will execute it and will push for it to work with your target venue or your target line of business, and since that there are different situation in different place and time, there's nothing wrong in thinking about pursuing whatever venue of business that you'll going to pick for your investment.

A kind of business or education that you can possibly own and enreach while trying to adopt and adjust from how the market or the ecomony is moving forward.

I tend to watch interviews of the old people that are already in retirement and when they've been asked to what their regrets were. One of their answers is that they didn't pursue what they like.

So, they tell that while we're young and if we've got time, pursue what you think you want to take. Whether they are courses, travels, masters, etc.

It's true that no matter what we study if we're allowed by fate to go back in studying, you should pursue what you really like.

Can't be so sure about that. Politicians and people alike are usually advanced in terms of economic knowledge, but did most country had good economy? especially in the 3rd world country. All countries aim for the best economy, but it seems like it was harder to achieve than what most people thought. Is it because our leaders in the politics doesn't have enough basic knowledge about economy? obviously, the answer to that is no. I would say, the more the people acquire knowledge, the more the people gets cleverer and will only care of their own personal gain without getting noticed because they have enough knowledge about it. 

That purely depends on which field they are interested in. We just can't shove our idea on people throat just because we have heavy interest in it. The advise is of course depends on their choice of career they want to take.

To me, all courses are worth studying; it depends on the individual and their passion. Since I was growing up, I have always had a relative sense of humility and a caring passion.
But my family loves law for me, and as time goes on, I discover I was made for the health practitioner world, so I went into nursing. Economics is a good one, but everyone can't go into it.
We all need all the courses to come up with ideas to make a living. So I believe it's better to go for passion so you won't struggle in school and not practice your field.

No matter what profession we are connected with we must know about economics because economics is connected with every human life. A doctor, engineer or any other profession must think about economics. Those who study economics may not think much about anything else, but those who study all other subjects except economics must know about economics. How much money we got as salary, how much money we spent in the market, how much money we paid in electricity bill, how much money we bought fake oil, but all this falls under the economy. Now this state of the economy, the state of the economy may worsen in the future, and economic crisis may arise in the future, but everyone has to think about these things. With that in mind, the person might say that if he could go back to high school, he would definitely take economics.

If I could advise any body about the course to study I think agriculture is the best both livestock and food farming. Although I know everyone must not follow thesame part but for those that chose to. Food and livestock has become expensive this days and this product can be produced within the locality like my area in my country we have large portion of land which can be used for extensively large agric farming. The reason behind inflation most at times in a country is the inability to produce but depends on imported product. And this imported product can be produced within the the environment. Most of my friends who did agriculture are doing well when ever I go to his farm I regretted why I didn't do agriculture but nevertheless if I have the money I will hire someone who is a specialist on it to assist me in the following:
1 fish breeding
2 poultry farming
3 pig farming
4 rice farming
5 cassava farming
6 goat breeding

And many more this fetches alot of money and most of this farming systems does not require buying of feed but depends on natural feed for survival.

     You know that no matter what we want to learn or know, no one can stop you but yourself. You should not follow what other people say about the thing you want to learn or know, because at the end of the day, you will be the one who benefits from the thing you are learning.

     Then again, you are the one who knows better whether what some say is right or wrong, and as far as I can see, I don't see anything wrong with what you want. Also, economics is another thing; it's good and it's needed in all countries; in fact, that's why every country has economic advisers to know how the economy of each country will develop or improve. Why would you listen to someone who knows nothing about economics when you are the one who sees the beauty in economics when you study it? You are the one who saw the beauty, not someone else, and you will believe those who did not see the beauty you saw in economics. Do you get it?

You're on point when you mentioned that economics are too broad, unfortunately it's a sector that doesn't specializes you in something specific, but provides you with the basic knowledge on a variety of subjects. Thus, when you finally graduate, you know a little bit of everything and struggle finding something relevant to do. On the positive side, it may assist you to find what you like the most; I discovered that I like statistics a lot, and it's something that I might pursue in the future.

Remote working as a data analyst sounds ideal, but I'm unsure how you can turn an idea into an occupation that pays a reasonable wage.

Every course is important and unique in their one way, before  any course will be accredited to be study in the university or tertiary institute there must be some atom of remarkable positive impact that the course will add to the society and the person that wish to study the course. However, the choice of course to be study in the higher institution depend on passion, interest and the intellectual capacity of the individual involve.  There are requirement and prerequisite to every course of studies so before anybody questing for a particular course will excel in the course the person must meet the requirement and prerequisite for such course.

Our everyday life is all about economics,  the way money is been spent,  the way money is been planned to spend . In every aspect of life economics is needed. For those who really understand what economy is all about and how important it is will always do exploit. Their is no company or institution that an economist is not needed to manage it.

Every course has their responsibility to make the students interested in their work so that they can do what they can very well and their life will settle in it.  I say a competent person can only give knowledge to students but not force them it is a legal offense because every boy and girl get full citizenship at 18 years of age,




so every student chooses to do their own work and so from them.  Course opinion should be taken first in this matter, so that they can fulfill their purpose in life as well as they can.  So they should accept their decision and make them more confident that they can do it.

If I had that opportunity then I would advise people to take business-related courses like- finance, accounting, marketing, and HRM in university. Because nowadays these topics are very much demanded courses. Most of the company offer jobs related to these subjects. So if anyone has proper knowledge about these topics then he will get a handsome job. Not only Jon but also if anyone have knowledge about business-related topics then he could start his own business in the future which would make them financially stable.

Everyone has their choice of choosing a course to study.People study what they like and don't study because of people's opinions about the course.Like what I'll always tell myself is people irrelevant opinions don't count in myself like a popular artist in my country said 'If you follow people's opinions you won't make it at all'.People's like and dislike shouldn't affect your mental status,your like is different from mine so if a person should tell me he doesn't like Medical lab,that's my course it won't even get me bothered because I know where I'm heading to.No knowledge is a waste,even if your course isn't valued in your country doesn't mean it isn't valued in another country.My advice to those students that are bothered and discouraged all because a person told them that their course is of no use don't feel bothered and discouraged keep chasing your dreams.

I wouldn’t advise anyone on anything. But if i must, id say it should be something around tech. Don’t assume that other fields are irrelevant though. I think that every field matters and they work together. Tech companies for instance need PR. And you can see the need to study PR. So it’s really about passion. Despite how much a field may be able to make you, it may not be your interest and you might not be good at it, so figure what works for you and not just what you’re told is good.

While it's very agreeable that every course is unique in their own way, let's also put into consideration that some of these courses have limitations, what I mean is that, there are certain courses you can't study in certain countries due to some certain limitations in that country.
It's just like going overseas to become a neurologist, finishes his study and then comes backbto his country where there are no facilities to conduct a surgery.
If he doesn't go out of that country, his years of studying would be wasted because he won't be able to use his expertise.

Talking about economics is about money, and money is the source of life for citizens, countries and even the whole world. ;D especially in the age of digitalisation all services are available as long as you have money. I'm talking about unity or the number of people who use money but not economics, the science is broadly managing, empowering and techniques in finance which I'm sure not everyone understands even with the basic concepts of economics for life and not just receiving and spending it. It would be very risky to ignore the role of the economy, because this is a container and money is only content, if the container is enlarged of course the money will fill the circulation in each person and the country will get a significant effect with quality human resources.
==================
Get to know someone's passion in identifying interests because any course must be with hobbies, learning will be very effective if in his field of course his service users will be more able to distinguish the results of his work in the future, can be because it is very animating his profession.

Indeed, economics is a daily practice but people who have potential in this field will also see the difference and are needed, education is important.

I also agree more with your suggestion about finding out what is suitable for ourselves rather than looking for what other people tell us to do, because what other people tell us to do may not necessarily be very suitable for the abilities we currently have. But when it comes to advice about technology, I think most people really need to know about it because it is influenced by the environment so anyone needs it and needs to know more about it. Although other fields related to economics also need to be known in order to be able to balance it with our own knowledge.

The field of tech is good actually because of the rate of the need for country's development and so there will also be the need to higher personal from that area more than those in the field of PR because you only require few of such PR people but alot of tech people will be needed. The point is to look inward to see the courses that are needed in the society because those are the ones that will be in higher demand. Demand and supply are also factors to consider, if a country is tech inclined then they want more of tech hands to help them achieve that drive. However, no course is irrelevant but the demand is what matters. This is why those going to other countries for job purposes should identify the kind of jobs required in those places to know if they are well needed to avoid being stranded without job.

Of course, this is very important so that we can know what things are appropriate for us to do so that we can do it well and get the results that we want and if we do it based on other people's advice, it is not certain that we can do what we want to do. well because it may not suit us and we will not be able to get good results for ourselves.

By knowing about technology, of course this will make it easier for us to complete the work we do, because with technology, of course we will be able to easily complete work related to technology and the results will also be better, if we are capable of course. It would be better for us to understand several areas of knowledge so that we can live our lives well and we will be able to plan a good future with the knowledge we have.

Right, but despite the fact that demand matters, do  what you have interest in. I understand that money can be a good motive to switch and do something else but a job you’re always happy to do with a small paycheck is better than one you’re not happy to do but has a big paycheck.
