Education › Re: Economics Or Engineering?? Please Kindly Advice. by Battywonder(m): 1:08am On Jul 09, 2018

baum1:
Lol. Does anyone say economics is easy?

My best students in economics have mathematics/science backgrounds. The best economists came from mathematics/statistics/physics and sometimes engineering.

Anyone might feel frustrated with economics, not only science students...But empirically, the best economists were scientist. I will give examples to support my position if you push the discussion. For now, let me rest the case.

Sorry to anyone who did economics at BSc, but my general advise is never to study only economics at BSc if someone wants to become a full economist (PhD economics) in the future. A BSc in economics alone does not give the required foundation. I know. However, things like economics AND statistics/mathematics, mathematics/statistics, physics and even engineering are a better foundation for studying economics at a higher level.

And by the way, having seen most (not all sha) economics at all levels, I'd like to let you know that economics is not more of graphs. The graphs are required to build intuition, and I appreciate that in our profession, but those graphs are driven by mathematical theories which some rigorous economics programmes teach. I understand that not all economics programmes are rigorous, but that does not mean that economics is more of graph when taught or studied.

Meanwhile, do you work with your economics degree?

Spot on! Though you didn't elucidate on why a bachelor's degree in a discipline (Economics) is not a good preparation for a PhD in the same discipline. I'm not trying to contend, but rather bolster your thesis.

A bachelor's degree in Economics in a country like Nigeria is not really a good preparation for PhD Economics at top tier schools. I've a degree in Economics from a Nigerian federal university and will be going for PhD Economics abroad soon. It was a great headache going through the requirements of many top graduate school in Economics and seeing mathematics courses we glossed through during undergraduate. Despite having a First Class in Economics, I had to start learning some advanced mathematics to be able to meet expectations eventually.

To study Economics at graduate level, you're expected to have high level of mathematical aptitude. Imagine specializing in finance and needs to model a relationship based on the Black Scholes. You should have taken calculus up to level 3, differential equations, real analysis etc which a Nigerian BSc Economics would rarely teach you. A degree in a highly mathematical discipline is preferable, but I'll never advice going for Engineering (cos it's 5 years) since you can go for Maths or Physics.

Going for Economics has its advantages. So, I'll advice you go for Economics and take Mathematics at every opportunities. Take operations research and any computing courses. Since this thread is replete with undergraduates, I wouldn't want to be bombastic by explaining how much econometrics programming you with have to do in graduate school.

Hello Soakaway,

I can feel your pains.

You've got the good and bad advice on this thread and I hope you'll be able to sieve the ones that matter.

Despite the plethora of contributions, I feel the need to contibute because:

1. I am a graduate of Economics
2. I am an Educationist and I have dealt with people in similar cases as yours.

However, I cannot write epistle now. I'll update this post tomorrow.

Before I do that, you can read these:

How to read and assimilate quickly

How to get good grades in college

My reply to someone in similar case:
"The deal is done already. As a graduate of Economics, I very much understand your (the concerned) conundrum. I sense you are not really good with mathematics. Like I tell my friends, never be depressed by a situation you can't change, instead spend your time correcting the problem.

Be positive that you are going to rewrite all the ten papers and pass them with good grades.. I quite understand that the carry overs might be in courses like mathematical economics, statistics or even econometrics... You can pass those courses if you will follow the guides I will be sharing in few days.. Don't let your self-esteem be affected because you have carry overs, that is not the end of the world... I could even help you do your assignments or guide you for free if you want... Follow this post or this educational blog (www.educareful.com) to know when I share the article. Goodluck"
