The document discusses issues with economics education not adequately preparing students for different career paths. It notes that what is learned in college is often not applicable to regular jobs, and that degrees often only fill curriculums rather than providing useful skills. It suggests economics education should provide more practical training and information to students about academic versus job options, and allow them to specialize earlier, to reduce frustration with the field and disappointment in their education.

1. say
In economics, the practice is
quite different from the science.
What I learned in college is not
what I need to apply on a regular job.
Sometimes, the bachelor’s degree helps only to fill up the curriculum.
Just goes to show that I was able to complete a difficult course.
The content doesn’t matter at all.
Before acquiring specific skills, I had to choose a professional path:
if I wanted to work in financial market, bank or private company,
or if I wanted to build an academic carreer.
The academic path is the one that keeps me
exercising the profession and, at the same time,
still connected to science and theory.
Reputable courses usually pick on students that do internship.
They value the students who puts theory in foreground.
There should be more practical and applyed disciplines
and activities thoughout the course.
Teachers and counselors should better inform students about
the possibilities getting a job versus building an academic career.
Students should not have to learn it the hard way.
The current teaching method is a paradox.
The majority of the students wants to work
in banks or private companies, but the
school focus only in theory and science.
Between my Master's and Doctorate degree,
I tried working on the market, just to make sure
that I belonged to the academic path.
I’m always studing hard to get into the best universities.
I frequently subscribe articles to scientific magazines and important conferences.
I give private classes to all levels of students,
It keeps me motivated and willing to go further
on teaching and doing research.
Great humored economist, very
studious and eminent writer. Loves to
teach and to develop clever arguments
for every subject. Committed to work,
he likes doing research and engaging
in social matters.
Help students understand their career
options and have productive work
experiences while in college.
Students need a more realistic learn
strategy to avoid frustration and
prevail on their carreer dreams.
Is was an easy choise for me
because I already knew what I wanted.
It’s hard to find courses that prepare
the students for both paths.
They usually focus in only one of them.
Theory has always been fascinating to me.

information about

I think many people who dislike theory
become frustrated with this system.
I ached for social engaged
activities. I dislike the fact that
it wasn’t stimulated by educators.
If the school was integrated
with practical and real work,
I would had experimented more.
The course could have a basic start
cycle and then be divided into two
qualifications. Thus, the student
would be able to choose their path
(academic or market) and focus in
their passion before graduating.
The university could invest on labs,
initiatives and partners, so students
could engage on projects with
real outcomes.
The course could be taken in steps:
different levels accomplished result
in different certificates / degrees.
This way, students would be able
to choose if they want to have
technical degree that would be
enough to apply for a good job,
or if they want to go deeper into
studies and focus on science and
academic performance.
All expertises should be valued.
Not only the ability to study
hard and succeeding on tests.
Lots of students become frustrated
with the profession or
disapointed with the school.
