big economics questions in another light

Anyone who has studied economics knows that economics has to do with three big questions:

• what to produce? whatever that is in demand.
  
• how and how much to produce? the most cost efficient way and the equilibrium amount.
  
• for whom to produce? in capitalism, whoever can pay and will pay.
  

I just realized that i can apply these questions to study and to answer them requires some thinking:

• what to study?
  
• how and how much to study?
• for whom to study?

what are your answers?

some possible human answers:

• what to study? whatever that is in demand...in the job market? whatever pays? whatever you are passionate about? truth? knowledge for knowledge's sake?
  
• how and how much to study? how to study?...that is a million dollar question. short answer:the most efficient way. maybe also in a inquisitive, mind-enriching way? how much? the minimum that can get me an A:)
  
• for whom to study? myself? other's expectation of myself? for humanity? for Mr Dollar?
