On being a graduate student in Minnesota's Economics department (as opposed to Applied Economics).
Despite our differences, it appears that the life of a first year student in Economics or in Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota is pretty much the same:
I cannot afford meat, so for for dinner I mix some house flies into my bowl of rice to get some protein. I do not mind, though, I knew when I started the program that I would be spending my most sexually potent years sitting in a dark office doing algebra and writing MatLab code.
Freshwater whaaa? A summary of the differences between freshwater and saltwater economics. As a micro-minded development economics in a generally salt-leaning department at a notoriously freshwater university, I generally abstain from this debate.
