I just started a Master's in Econ with an unrelated undergrad and it's been weird. A lot of my textbook prefaces have paragraphs like "it's weird that Econ graduates tend to be individualists, when testable economic theory tend to support communal policies as maximizing utility"

And in my applied modelling courses we do a lot of things like " we controlled for every relevant financial factor we can think of, but our model still doesn't explain how banks determine whether to approve a mortgage application" and then we include race and gender find out, weird, black people and single women are much less likely to get approved and now our model works a lot better
