      Reading this now Not super familiar with network empirics but mostly following along, very straightforward writing Also I love these tribal groupings this is some kind of mashup of VtM and Paranoia https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1283375269622034432 …pic.twitter.com/taH2CQ5Zt1

      I did a double in econ and biochemistry, minors in . . . I think stats and chemistry but may have been math and chem I am happy to discuss, what do you want out of undergrad and what do you want to do with your life afterward?

      am personally pretty interested in development econ/policy stuff, altho beyond that don't have much of an idea of exactly what i'd like to do - have a lot of broad 'oh that might be cool' thoughts abt quite a few different lines of work

      idk broadly speaking i'd like to be useful so i can help people - figure languages (some of which id do as part of my pacific degree) and maybe some actually useful skills (stats maybe?) would help me achieve that

      ok heres my unvarnished take's 1. stats is definitely useful and you should probably do a bunch of that 2. econ is great as a framework for understanding the world and even moreso as a way to understand how frameworks work

      3. the best time to get into development econ was probably in the early to mid 90s. Its a fairly mature field now, development programs are probably going to be on the wane with neoliberalism, and jobs are gonna be scarce if US influence continues to wane

      4. Selecting a field to "try to help people" is a trap for young and good-hearted people. The first thing you should do as a young adult is to figure out how to build a stable life for yourself during and after school, because without this you will not be of much use to others

          5. On the same theme "helping people" is very difficult for outsiders to accomplish. Strictly speaking the best way for almost anyone to "help" is to figure out how to flex their comparative advantage for a high income and donate cash efficiently. Doesn't feel 'good' but it works

          6. It's really hard to figure all of this out and students are given terrible advice constantly. There's no easy solution but be aware that most guidance you are getting from your school is probably awful
