I don't think a person will have to go to college to study economics, but there will be a good learning atmosphere at a university. It is a good opportunity for a young person to learn.
This depends on each individual because actually in the world of education it is only limited to theory with the hope that students can easily adapt to the knowledge they receive in the life they will face as adults.
and it's true that it's not only school if you want to study economics because sometimes experience from life will be very helpful in this case, especially for people who are in the category below the poverty line and there are already several examples of people who are even more successful in the economy without knowing school first .
