Revisiting Freakanomics again helps to re-instill some a bit of confidence in my choice major for university. Looking at how 99.99% of my classmates have joined the civil side of society, NUS Economics course had, on hindsight, seems like a PSC preparatory course. Given my distance with it everday, Keynes, mankiw and I would soon be mere acquaintances! (Not that they even know me now…..)
Maybe it is not that difficult to apply all those EC1111 Ec2222 Ec3333 stuffs in everyday’s life. Frankly, either EC1000E or Ec9999 should be on Economics relevance to everyday’s life. Only with this, will a graduate of Bachelor of Social Science with Honours in Economics seems to have taken something useful out of university instead of just having painful memories of those hundred lines gigantic Greek model that just illustrate human are selfish. Just go inside any corporation for half a day and such behaviour are plain obvious to the naked eyes.
Economics actually manifests in so many forms every day. A little knowledge of this can goes quite a long way in seeing a different perspective of life. We have Economics rice and Economics mee hoon. How about an Economics life?
