I don’t mind studying for the CFA the majority of the time because the material is useful and applicable, but with microecon, I get terribly bored after reading even a page and I don’t know what to do about it.
Not only is the material useless for the most part, but it’s also full of assumptions and perfect scenarios that are so unrealistic and arbitrary that it just makes me angry. And then for every one of the graphs, you have price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis which is so counterintuitive and annoying.
Although this post is partly to vent, how does one stay interested in studying this material when it is boring, useless, and often so arbitrary? Can any of it be applied?
Thanks for the help/support
 
Microeconomics is useful, everythng is useful, believe me.
This theories are basic, so you need to learn this first in order to go ahead with more advanced theories. CFAI economics on level 1 is about the 1 first year of an average college economics career
I don’t think they are arbitrary at all, they are simplistic in fact. The assumptions make our lives easier. When you became a master in economics you will be able to relax this assumptions and start playing with 10 variables at once. But if you get problems with price and quantity, maybe Economics will never be your strenght.
Is boring at first, but if you get the logic behind it, you will start enjoying it.
