"I fervently disagree with the blog post."
Because you're massively missing his point, which is just talking about career prospects. Noah's criticisms of what's taught in grad school econ echo your own:

- washedup 13y agoYou are right, thanks for showing me this. I agree with his ideas about undergraduate information versus graduate information. Undergraduate programs contain a lot more history, and yet still mathematical. However, I still disagree with the current post. You don't get autonomy in a graduate program; you are tied to a faculty and the programs currently available. It can be difficult to breakout on your own. This was my experience. This mixed with the time spent learning material that is at its best, interesting; and at worst, incorrect makes it seem like a poor choice. You can get the same correct information by studying other graduate programs. Intellectual fulfillment should come from discovering how these systems actually behave. Our criticisms about graduate economic programs are similar, but our praise about their benefits differ very much.
