I like how he mentions how good job prospects are, even for mid-level schools, then cites Michigan. This article is worthless.
edit: to clarify, as mentioned below, Michigan is a top program.
- theorique 13y agoWhy is it a bad idea to cite Michigan here? (edit: GO BLUE)
- fnayr 13y agoBecause it's a top econ program, and he's using it to prove that mid level programs have great job prospects.
- zampano 13y agoUMich is not really emblematic of mid-level schools. While rankings don't mean a lot, UMich is still ranked #13 by US News & World Reports for graduate-level economics and thus would be either one of the lower top-tier schools or near the top of the mid-tier. It would probably be easier to get a good job from UMich than the vast majority of other mid-tier schools.
- theorique 13y agoAh, thanks. I'm not an economist so the rankings were unfamiliar to me.
