Why is it that someone with an Economics degree is only ready for teaching or secretarial work?

Question

That's what one poster said.

I am going to graduate from the number one public university in the nation--Berkeley, with degrees in Economics and History. GIven, history is worthless, but Economics?

What's up with that?

Most of the Berkeley Econ grads are financial analysts. ...what do you think?

Poster 2: My parents are middle-class. My professors are rich, and my math teachers were middle-class.

Your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Answer 1

government lobbist need economists too. its something to think on if you are interested in politics

Answer 2

sorry to dissappoint you but welcome to the old and common road we have all travelled . The poster is right and is correct . it is the true reality many are faced with after studying so hard , earned degrees and then all falls flat .you simply become part of the educational casualty statistics.

start your mind set from this point Please. Answer my questions honestly and thoughtfully , take your time and do not hurry .
1. Who first introduced you to money , just a simple penny
2. Probably your parents
3. Are they rich , middle class or poor
4. When you first attended school who first taught you money maths , addition and subtraction
5. probably your Teacher
6 In your own observation was your teacher rich , middle class or poor.
7 When you went to high School , and choose to do Economics at university was your Accounts or economics teacher , rich , middleclass or poor
8 Now you were taught Economics at University and about to be awarded a degree , Is your economics lecturer or Professor rich, middleclass or poor.
Do not be suprised that you shall come to the logical conclusion that " you were first introduced to money by poor parents , taught the subject of money by poor teachers and lecturers . so what chance do you have to be rich?What relevance then is economics from such a background ?
This website though hated by those who cannot see it will change your mind frame for good .
