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 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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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!
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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
