Dilemma…

My dilemma is:

 

+ Most agencies require producers with 3-5 yrs of experience;

+ None of them cares about accepting producers with less experience.

 

Apparently this is a “all lose” game.

Economists: brand new stars.

Economists were and still are, to a certain extent, a mysterious breed. Their studies and position in the real economy’s world have often been questioned on their usefulness. Jokes about economists flourish, indeed. Here are some examples:

“An economist is a trained professional paid to guess wrong about the economy.” 

or

“Economics is the only field in which two people can share a Nobel Prize for saying opposing things.”

 

Accused of being far from reality, unuseful for what matters real industrial economy, economists were not among the scientists and brilliant engineers who were the protagonists of the last 24 years. Technological innovation took the stage, and let the poor and boring subject of economics among the sciences with no focus on real life and application. Now things seem to have changed. The actual slump brought new attention to the figure of the economics’ expert and researcher. We could call this “Sudden popularity”. They are interviewed, consulted, their advises constitute the “juicy piece” of several shows and newscasts. Suddenly everyone sees in economics the only key capable of solving, or at least softening a crises which was not caused by economics in its purest definition. Wild finance is the first responsible. So Kondratiev’s cycles’ definitions and monetary policy mechanisms’ aren’t foggy topics anymore. This situation though, isn’t going to last that long. Once the crisis will be overcome (as it will surely be) economists will return to their lives, once again ignored and once again ready to give wise advises to those unknowing, when the times will require it.
