Topic: A course worth studying ? - page 5. (Read 1455 times)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
