Career in Economics
Economics is a subject of rational thinking. Economics teaches us how to think rationally in the situation of scarcity and make use of limited resources that have alternative uses in such a way that it satisfies humans’ unlimited wants. Economics is the social science that studies how people interact with things of value, particularly the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
Every individual is a half economist, as each one of us uses economic knowledge in one way or another. The half economists use economic concepts without actually knowing its advantages and limitations and how to reap the benefits through it.
Economics is used everywhere, from household management to real estate, business, finance, health care, and government. Economics further focuses on the behavior and interactions of economic agents and how economies work. In the actual sense, economics is a diversified field as its analysis can also be applied to diverse subjects such as science, environment, religion, politics, law, family, education, war, and crime.
