Friday, April 18, 2008 as i ponder my meaningless existence 12:19 AM i cannot seem to remember ANYTHING. seriously. my memory has taken a vacation to, um, i can't remember where. i started wondering why i decided to attempt economics in university. i have concluded that it is to up my marriageable worth. if i had done engineering, or law, or medicine, i would be considered intruding into a man's world. and no man wants a woman who is smarter than him, right? well, if we restrict this discussion to solely indian men, this is very true. indian men need to feel superior, that they are better than their women so that their egos can be pacified. so being in a 'man's field' would hence render me unmarriageable. so i'm in arts. but men, at the same time, do not want an arts dum dum as their future wife! they have a reputation to uphold, am i right? they will not want their friends to judge them if they happen to get together with an airhead. that would be a blow to their massive egos. so the girl has to have a balance of intelligence and stupidity - she cannot be smart enough (i.e as intelligent as the man) but she cannot be stupid either. so, yes, econs. in arts, it is the most revered major for its toughness and the amount of work it requires. at least in nus la. admit it, you need some brains to attempt the mathematical approach that the uni takes. everyone wants good grades. everyone is smart (but of course not as smart as engineers/lawters/doctors). so relatively speaking, econs is a good major to take to give you the right balance (or equillibrium, as economists would say) because it reflects that you have some amount of intelligence but you aren't that smart that you will intimidate your man. right? right. marry me! *giggles and twirls hair, and furiously scribbles econs/math formulas at the same time* 0 comments |
