    Just having a "Good Degree" will NOT save you in this economy. You need a Unique Skill Stack to stand out from the rest of the workers out there. Think smart about your decisions, you can rise to top of society, with smart and efficient skill-building and career decisions. Let me know in the comments what is your game plan for dealing with this crazy job market. 💯

    I studied political science and since graduating, I've only worked in IT or software. I really resented working in an area I was trying to avoid and with people I had little in common with, but on the plus side, I'm now financially stable with a great foundation for retirement established. I disagree with the idea that philosophy is not useful for producing income. Learning how to think - logic, thinking things one way and backwards, in order to really reach some level high truth is an incredible exercise that helps me in all aspects of life, including with money. You learn to listen to the logic that is often presented to you by information sources and often determine what is bs, who is full of bs and who\what information that is valuable.

    Supply and demand, too many people have college degrees. Either one has experience or a network.
    Call center might ruin her mental health and then she will have problem, In Poland the best skill to have is the ability to speak German, there have to be small nieshes glitches in the economic matrix where the demand is high and the supply is low.

      Speaking of Poland, knowing German is good. But you need a place to apply it, other than Call Centers.
      German will be best for sales and Engineering. Although, as you spoke about that one in Poland...they will still lowball you on that German as an additional skill you have.

      ​@@MCLottotvthat too. Some psychology grads do not apply even to government places like psychiatry hospitals that may need them. Or prisons. These also need them and people run away because of a potential convict.

      @@mrbanditos3583 you are right and I know it because I worked with German in two It companies from home with no experience. One paid really really good money, I was in the top 15 percent of earners in Poland. Knowing German in Poland is really the best corporate skill to have.
      Still I wasn't really motivated, and my colleagues weren't either. If one doesn't have a family, or wants to buy stupid stuff or live a degenerate lifestyle, the additional money for personal use becomes kind of worthless.

    My family member hires LSE grads….he doesnt seem impressed by their accountants and he is the city.
    He was thinking of doing a degree there. His secretary had to remind him…where do your employees come from? Will this degree be valuable to you?
    He put that idea in basket.
    Also, LSE is not really respected in North America.

    Stop ✋🏻 with the experience nonsense. The purpose of a degree is to filter the herd of candidates.
    I prefer one with one over one without any day. 😳

    Hi Ethan, I have bachelors in Engineering. for 8 years since graduating, I have been working in corporate. But I feel like going back to college and get a masters degree in mathematics or something closely related.
    One reason is that I am genuinely interested in studying maths. But also, I see that for many job positions, I see masters or Phd as academic requirements. So I fear it might be a deal breaker at some point later in life.
    What would be your opinion on going back to college after so many years. Or would part time or online degrees worth as much as regular full time courses?

    • @economicsethan
      @economicsethan  8 місяців тому +2

      I would recommend that any extra study you do is because it will generate more money for you, rather than just an interest. We can discuss this in more detail here: economicsethan.gumroad.com/l/discovery_call
