Sometimes I feel like obtaining this Bachelors Degree was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. No one wants to hire or pay an individual with his/her degree now OR simply hire. Makes me question; so why did I attend university again? This is really frustrating at times...
YET, big YET, I still believe that my hard work of sleepless nights, reading for hours until I understand, analyzing these theories, complex graphs, formulas, and mathematical problems, etc, were not in vain. I read BSc. Economics. And the relevance of an economics major is designed to develop various skills and competence in the world of work both in private and public sectors. After understanding and analyzing the late Sir Arthur Lewis, I have reckoned that Economics is a prestigious major. After all there is a Nobel Prize in Economics right?
With my completion, I believe this will allow me to locate existing economic research and economic data. Moreover, to be able to illustrate existing knowledge, to be able to confidently write reports, summarizing and describing economic situations, and explaining policy positions and debates. I really want to be able to use economic theory and quantitative methods to study real world and business economic problems; essentially in St. Lucia. And the list goes on. I guess being at UWI was not so bad after all. I did learn, I diligently read my degree, and have no regrets.
The best is yet to come. I am still hopeful.

Lol..I used think the same. I did Bsc Economics also. It was a great experience..Helped broaden my knowledge and act as a foundation for my future development. Do not mind the employers who do not see the value of our degree. This is just a stepping stone. I have trained myself to think different, remain positive and work hard towards my goals...
