Who doesn't know the collapse of the many banks (and 1 country) hasn't been on Earth for some time. Great times to reflect, especially for a person that does Economics as a major, and for someone that questioning whether his honours serve any good in the working world, 1 that is now filled with chaos and disarray.
How do the supposedly smart people from the various top universities of this world fail so badly ensuring just sound financial stability? Ain't there enough smart people to understand the workings of an economy by now, after 1929, 1979, 1987-88 and 1997?
We can add a 2008 to it, and definitely, one of the top few financial turmoil of all times. Few are already talking about studying Masters, because of the expected bleak job market when we graduate. Many more are flocking to government board recruitment talks, because government jobs are deemed as more stable (even though the economies they handle may not).
Another issue is on the issues that I have studied. Are they really truth(s)? Duh.. the way in which I structure them means they are not. What are truths anyways? Are there even truths to begin with? The truth is (ironic intended) that humans always make mistakes, and maybe this train of thought has been so well established, all humans have been blinded by it? Maybe? I shall be remained that I will learn more about this world, and try to establish greater links beyond my own major, and hopefully, be a person that can think more critically, and not just a book/paper/homework/test churn-er. Bleah!
