A course worth studying ?

[iamsange]

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.

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.

Economics is a good course to study

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

[slashz9]

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.

[Sorryfor]

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.
