▼ + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( Jessica Dickler | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

A recent study published in the American Educational Research Journal found that engineering and computer science majors provide the highest returns in lifetime earnings, followed by business, health and math and science majors. Education and humanities and arts majors had the lowest returns of the 10 fields of study considered. "However, there are significant differences across college majors." Overall, the researchers found that the benefits of higher education have held up, even as enrollment has declined and the labor market outcomes for those without a college degree have improved, Zhang said. For workers with a bachelor's degree, education was the lowest-earning field of study, followed by psychology and social work and the arts.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Cheah Wenqi , the 28-year-old cofounder of a Singapore-based media company. I was in my third year at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore when I cofounded a media company with three friends. Some of the videos we worked on for our class went viral, which is when we started thinking about creating our own platform. In my final years with the company, I headed the product growth and development team and worked on developing our YouTube page. After around five years on the job, I started thinking about what's next.

☆ I'm an NYU student, a content creator, and an intern. Here's what a busy 15-hour day is like for me.

At 1:05 p.m., I met up with a real-estate agent, and we filmed a $20 million penthouse on Billionaires' Row. Courtesy of Ryan CheahI intern for Anthony Park, a content creator who makes videos about luxury real estate. Following a 20-minute assessment and walk-through of the penthouse, Park and I discussed how we should approach filming that day. We use an iPhone 14 Pro to film all our videos — no fancy equipment. It's an unbelievable experience, navigating through these million-dollar homes and then returning to the humble confines of a student dorm.

Goldman Sachs announced its 2023 class of managing directors Thursday afternoon, giving 608 employees the coveted title. It's a smaller cohort than the bank's 2021 MD class, down 5% amid a dealmaking slowdown. Still, Goldman appears to have taken pains to promote employees in revenue-generating divisions like investment banking and trading. Goldman says the percentage of women it promoted as part of the 2023 MD class sets a record, up 1% from 2021. Two years ago, Goldman promoted the largest managing director class in its history, naming 643 employees to the designation in 2021.

"OCA is looking into it, definitely," as well as organisers and the government, Singh told a press conference in the eastern Chinese host city, Hangzhou. The three wushu fighters from the state of Arunachal Pradesh were issued stapled visas instead of stamped ones, India's foreign ministry said. Wei Jizhong, chairman of the OCA's ethics committee, told reporters last week that China did not refuse entry to the athletes. New Delhi vociferously rejects the claim, saying Arunachal Pradesh has always been part of India. At the Asian Games, delayed by a year due to COVID-19, some 12,400 athletes from 45 nations are competing for 481 gold medals across a huge programme of 40 sports.

☆ Hong Kong bourse’s profit pop looks passive
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Thomas Shum | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

HONG KONG, April 27 (Reuters Breakingviews) - What does a stock exchange operator do when equity markets are weak and interest rates are high? Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (0388.HK) posted a 28% year-on-year profit pop on Wednesday, largely propelled by stellar investment returns as opposed to its core business. Sustained weakness in equities trading and initial public offerings could augur tougher times ahead if transaction volumes don’t come back soon. Though Hong Kong’s IPO pipeline is better than many, with over 90 applications as of the end of March, the issue sizes are restrained. Net profit amounted to HK$3.4 billion ($434 million), up 28% from a year ago, with revenue and other income rising 19% year-on-year to HK$5.56 billion.

"The golden age of globalization that we experienced in the last 30 years since the end of the Cold War has ended clearly and we are entering a new era, a new era that will be marked by greater geopolitical contestation," said Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong. Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe golden age of globalization has ended and a fundamental change to the way the world works is underway, said Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong. "Where previously the logic was, countries do not have to be friends to do business with one another. In fact, the hope was that the more we trade and invest in each other, we will tamp down geopolitical rivalry," Wong said. "The generation of Chinese born perhaps in the last generations, many of them idealized America and the American way of life.
