I felt more and more uneasy in the recent weeks and months about #EconTwitter, and I think this is exactly why https://twitter.com/_alice_evans/status/1199699728805646337

And the last sentence of this tweet: https://twitter.com/atabarrok/status/1199741300943310850?s=21 https://twitter.com/atabarrok/status/1199741300943310850

I know it’s easy and kind of natural to project one experience as "the" experience, but maybe it’s not a bad thing to ask oneself how one’s experience "generalize" or not

(It’s not an advice though. Just a remark or whatever)

And also this great thread by Sarah: https://twitter.com/sarahjacobsonec/status/1199653610650525696?s=21 https://twitter.com/SarahJacobsonEc/status/1199653610650525696

So at the end, I think the go-to advice about grad school/career/whatever is probably "it depends"

And "it depends" is a conclusion we know very well as economists

So I’m kind of surprised that we are not using it more often

(This last tweet was supposed to be slightly humorous but I guess I shouldn’t try to be funny after a long cardio session at the gym)

(And anyone who answers that I shouldn’t try to be funny *period* will be instantly blocked)

(This previous tweet was also a joke ok?)

And also why all the advices in the world won’t change the underlying problem they try to mitigate unless something meaningful is done
