Yeah you could wright your thesis on the socio-ecomonics of pajeets scamming sirs early in the morning. You can send your rough draft to me at heartsbbc@yahoo.com. I'll look over it for you.

im studying undergrad in econ, any wisdom? b.s.

>> No.54121596

Depends on why you want it. If it's for job reasons then no. If you are genuinely interested in the subject itself and want to research or teach at a university then yeah go for it.

>> No.54121599

>>54120031
yes. grad school is cool, go for it.

I know a guy that graduated with a PhD in economics.
He works at my local Starbucks.

I recognize your post the other day, I think it depends what you want out of life and what school.
If it’s Chicago then yes go for it, if not maybe reconsider. But also grad school is more fun that being a wagie

>> No.54121738

>>54120031
well on one hand yes, a PhD shows you have some basic knowledge. On the other hand no, because a degree in finance or mathematics may be more useful.

Any actual economist will understand the humor in my response.

PhD's in psuedo social sciences only prepare you for jobs in acadamia, you don't actually make any money.

Yeah, that's my thinking. Hoping to smash a bunch of young puss and maybe even meet my wife. Would be 30 years old by the time I started a program.

People here have a solid understanding of economics. More than 95% of the general population. Stop projecting.

economics is the worst of them
accounting is really safe, but boring as fuck
finance is really good, but the best jobs require you to be a chad, however you can make decent money by just being a decent analyst
