A course worth studying ?

[Husires]

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

[slapper]

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.

[Mrbluntzy]

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.

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

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.

[poodle63]

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.

[Strongkored]

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

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.

[Briankimp1]

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.

[angrybirdy]

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.

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.
