PEOPLE OF GALWAY; THIS IS FINN

We’re having the chats with #PeopleofGalway for the craic — messers and chancers, artists and tourists, buskers and shopkeepers, and any other unwitting victims we meet on the street.

#ThisIsGalway “I’ll put it this way. If you’re smart growing up in Ireland, you’re told to become a doctor. Which, fine, fair enough, I’ve nothing against doctors, that’s grand. But you’re so limited with what you can do, do you know what I mean? If your end goal is to help people, if you’re a doctor you’re reaching one person at a time, so if you average your time out over your lifetime, you can only reach a very finite number of people with what you’re doing, in terms of helping them.

Whereas with economics, it’s limitless. You can help ten times as many people, if you’re successful. Helping people is the premise of economics; it’s studying how people live, why they do what they do, then seeing if you can change that or if you should change it.”
