Why Economics ? (Part 2)

Back to the old question, why learn economics?

• People who have known me since childhood might argue that since I am a banker's son, economics becomes a default choice. In that case, I should have opted to study economics in junior college itself but then I preferred science instead.
• People who have known me in recent years might argue that since I have been working for a leading American Bank for almost 4 years now, econ became an acquired taste. I would hate to disagree but the kind of work that I have been involved with this American Bank has got nothing to do with its core business. I have worked on technologies to keep track of their internal business and cost savings.
• I figured that the main reason why economics attracts me now is since I have started earning and spending in multiple currencies, living in best of both worlds - from rapidly developing to highly developed, between an economic giant of yesteryears to an economic giant of the future.
