I was thinking about how acquiring skills like cryptocurrency trading has helped a lot of individuals out of poverty, so I was wondering if subjects like cryptocurrency trading or Forex trading are introduced into curriculum of students, will that not have a direct impact on the economy of the country by reducing the number of people dependent on the government for a job? Has this not yet been considered or is there a reluctance in the government to make sure that people learn valuable important skillset in school aside the other things they have been learning for years.
I did not know the correct place to make this post, economics or trading, I am okay with the moderator moving it to the right place if this is not it.
Actually, some parts of engineering already touch on trading concepts, like engineering economics and basic economics in high school. But in today’s world, trading has evolved with new fundamentals that go beyond what those subjects cover so maybe they should add those too if ever. It makes sense to introduce trading as a subject because IMO, it's not just a gamble, it’s applied math, data analysis, risk management, and psychology. They say engineering should only focus on technical stuff, but trading is technical now, and students should learn how markets really move, beyond just the FOMO and manipulation by big players. Maybe in the future, they'll consider it, this is actually a real world stuff and I think this subject should be in universities.
