Trading Post Oil
Posted in Fragrances | No Comments »In A Post-Peak Oil world, will there be any need for those with Economics degrees?
What do you think? If the price of oil skyrockets and economic collapse ensues, will my ECON degree be worth anything? Some Peak-Oil activists have told me that since Peak Oil is approaching, my degree will be worthless and I am better off dropping out of college and taking up a trade. What careers could a Economics major pursue in a Post-Peak Oil world?
The price and availability of oil is irrelevant to the worthiness of an ECON degree. The ideas of economics and finance will be there until mankind as a species dies off completely. Did you think we'd return to the barter system? Even then, economics would remain important.
The people who are telling you this have other reasons for telling you this crap besides caring for your best interest.
