In 2005, an economist warned one of the world's most influential financial gatherings that markets were heading toward catastrophe. He was dismissed, even mocked. Three years later, the 2008 Global Financial crisis proved him spectacularly right. That economist was Raghuram Rajan, who went on to become Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. This lesson is about what economics trains you to do: see structure beneath the noise, hold a rigorous view when the world disagrees and shape decisions that matter. That capacity to think in systems, interpret complexity and translate data into meaning is exactly what the job market rewards today. If you are planning to do a Bachelor of Economics and wondering what to do after, the answer is: quite a lot.
