How much do entry-level economists actually know?
in Economy ·
Honestly, I have zero patience for people who lack basic professional etiquette, and while it’s somewhat expected when someone graduates with a degree totally unrelated to their job, it’s absolutely ridiculous that they don't even understand what an account is—let alone how to handle a rebalance. You can't just wing it in the Economy like that.
I mean, what would a guy from construction know about drafting complex blueprints or calculating exact material needs for a house? It's not like they're trained for that...
And you can't blame anyone for that ignorance except for the education system itself. As for my own major, I honestly feel like I'd never figure it out on my own, but that's why books, newspapers, and the web exist. I just dive into whatever interests me. If I had relied solely on professors, industry experts, or the way they structured the modern college system, I'd end up just like the people in this article 😢
But hey, that's where we are. It's nobody's fault but our own if we keep sticking with such a stupidly designed schooling system...
