It took over 20 years to accumulate the collection of stickers that have adorned my wardrobe doors. It feels like it might take an eternity to get rid of them now that I’m moving out. Maybe it would be easier just to get new doors?
Hello, I’m an economist
I’ve just been back to uni this evening. No, not for classes — having only just graduated over a year ago, I feel I’ve had my fill for now. Instead, I was there to promote the glamorous lifestyle of an economist.
To most, I suspect, this would sound like a tough sell. Economics tends to have a poor reputation in the wider community. Either people don’t know what economists do, or, if they do have some idea, they usually think we can offer tax advice (no, we’re not accountants) or that we can give them tips on which shares to buy (sorry, I’m no financial guru). Those closer to the mark might attack us as the bastards who raise interest rates and cause jobs to be shipped to China.
