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.
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.
