Lessons Beyond the Degree

"Just graduated and already lost, huh? You see those guys over there? I walked up to them and asked, ‘What did you major in at university?’ Their response hit me hard: ‘Economics.’

I sat down next to them, feeling the weight of their answer. Here were people who had studied the same theories and principles I just spent years learning. Their faces told stories of ambition, dreams, and maybe some crushing disappointments.

We talked about what drew them to economics—the allure of understanding markets, the dream of making a difference, of changing the world. But somewhere along their journey, the system had failed them. The same numbers in the books had led them to the streets instead of boardrooms.

It struck me how easily life can pivot, how quickly plans can unravel. They spoke of jobs that vanished, of bills that piled up, of a system that didn't protect them in the end. The irony was impossible to ignore.

I listened as they shared insights, perspectives shaped by real struggles. They understood the economy from a viewpoint I'd never considered. Their knowledge was profound, born from experience rather than mere theory.

As our conversation deepened, I realized something crucial: all the degrees in the world don’t guarantee a place in society. Those men grasped the concepts of supply and demand intimately, yet they had become the very result of economic models gone wrong.

In that moment, I felt a connection that transcended the confines of a university classroom. I was reminded that success isn't just about selling yourself on paper, but about recognizing the humanity in every equation.

Sometimes, the biggest lessons come from the streets and not the lecture halls. And the world needs to listen—really listen—to those who have lived through the reality of their theories."
