A course worth studying ?

[Dewi Aries]

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

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 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.

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.

[Hispo]

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.

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.

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.

The more people learn about even basic economics, the better the economy of countries.

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. 

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

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.

[NurseHub]

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.

[Fuso.hp]

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.

[Samlucky O]

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.

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?

     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.

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

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.

[Fiasem20]

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.

[oktana]

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. 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.
