I quit economics...!
economics was my passion. It was a subject which i cherished to my heart.
But after reaching masters level, I have come to feel that I am in a cul-de-sac! who is to blame for having me dragged into a dead end? 1) This subject has been termed "a dismal science" 2) This subject has been the lowest scoring subject in most competitive exams, especially in CSS. 3) The essence of this Social Discipline (Economics) has been completely marred by the inclusion of other irrelevant subjects i.e. the positive sciences. 4) Having degree only in Economics is not considered sufficient, you have got to have some MBA subjects along. 5) A person with MBA or M.com has greater importance than the one with a simple Masters in Economics. It is due to the fact that economics is already taught widely in the former disciplines. 6) Most famous "50 economists together will have 51 decisions!" 7) classicals, neo-classicals, Keynesians, Monetarists, Austrians, new Keynesians, supply siders, demand siders, these are enough to bamboozle and perplex the one who has opted this discipline. sorry economics, your funeral has been the result of your intricacies which you have developed yourself. soryy for those who, in their forgetfulness, opt for economics. |

1- This subject was termed as Dismal Science in sixteenth century and its 21st century. 2- I scored 150 in CE-2012 in this very subject. 3- The subjects like positive sciences are a part to make it analytical and near to conclusion. Without these there is no concept of welfare or development economics. These subjects are the beauty of Economics. 4- By doing MBA what you can get is a good job. My dear in my opinion education is not merely meant for getting job. 5- By importance what do you specifically mean? 6- Yes this is so because Economics is the science of uncertainty dear. 7- Thats the real beauty of Economics dear you have great opportunity to present your own school of thought apart from these. Note:- Did we ever note why we lack behind India in economy? Thats because they give Economics as a field of research and study; its due place. in a country like Pakistan where economy is our biggest issue, Economics should be encouraged.

Well, I'm sure people with Economics background have an edge in the following:
1. Screening Test. 2. Essay (almost every single essay has economic aspects) 3. Interview 4. Current Affairs 5. Many optional subjects (Geography II, Business Ad, Economics itself) |

Regarding job avenues other than CSS, there are a lot of options which I was introduced to without being an MBA. Not forgetting the fact that only an insignificant number if people finally make it to allocation. If one doesn't get allocated even after three attempts, one with majors in Economics can always take GAT, GRE and a whole new world of opportunities is opened for them. If you talk at Bachelors level, lets compare the future or status of other degree holders like BSc Chemistry, BA Philosophy, IR etc. Which special job opportunities are opened for them except for teaching? Even after Masters in subjects like English Literature, one ends up being a teacher, coordinator etc. Take the case of doctors now. Firstly, the miseries of doctors are reflected through the hue and cry of YDA. Secondly, if its that good of a field why do doctors go for CSS? The same goes for engineers. What do they achieve with their positive sciences background? It's only hard-work, preservation, determination and strength of character which enables you to achieve your goals. Economics has a future, this is the reason it is the most taken up subject by students in under-grad unis of the USA and UK. The prevalence of different schools of thought in Economics shows the amount of research put in the subject. Moreover, there are many schools of thought in Psychology, Sociology as well and I'm sure you do know that these subjects are super popular as optionals among CSS aspirants. So yeah I believe in Economics with full optimism and zest. |
