education’. The real question is why an employer hires an economics graduate in product design, or a civil engineer in marketing. Michael Spence received the Nobel prize for his Harvard thesis, where he proposed the idea of job market signalling, a foundational concept in labour economics. Here’s how to understand the way employers read signals, and apply this to stand out. Education Individuals acquire credentials or education not necessarily because it will help them contribute directly to work productivity, but because these signal a higher ability to potential employers and help land better jobs. Most valuable education courses have either entry or exit barriers. So, tough entrance exams like JEE, NEET and CAT are a high entry barrier to top institutes, and clearing chartered accountancy exams is a high exit barrier. The tougher the course, the stronger the signal for the job market, and better returns in compensation. A clear hierarchy plays out in course and college selection. It’s no surprise that, on an average, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) degrees from institutes that are tough to get into, signal higher capability and result in above-average salaries. Use this idea to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of academic qualifications that you choose to pursue.

Mike Tyson will be getting back in the boxing ring. Nicknamed ‘Iron Mike’, the former world heavyweight champion, whose career was marred by issues in and out of the ring, will take on social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul on July 20 in a match that will be streamed live on Netflix, the company announced last week. The bout, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will be the first fight for Tyson since 2020, when he and Roy Jones Jr., also a former world boxing champion, fought to a draw in an exhibition match. The event will be another step in Netflix’s aggressive push into live “sports-adjacent programming,” which has the potential to draw large audiences without the kind of investment that streaming games from professional sports leagues requires. The company recently reached a multibillion-dollar, 10-year deal for the exclusive rights to stream World Wrestling Entertainment’s flagship weekly wrestling show, “Raw.” The made-for-streaming boxing spectacle was brought about through a partnership between Netflix and Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, the company he established in 2021 with Nakisa Bidarian to disrupt combat sports. He and Tyson will be paid about the same for the fight, but the parties would not reveal the amount. Paul, 27, began boxing in 2018 and has seen his star rise on his way to a 9-1 record.
