Go to a prestigious school? I dunno. Macro Econ is more policy and less baked in the math compared to micro. I think the fundamentals in micro are more rigorous though the one tenant of the whole field — that people act rationally and seek to maximize their utility on things — is bogus. People are dumb or at least often irrational. Groups of people though might act rationally. I think the modeling for micro that makes the most sense is the theory behind firms and how firms operate.
