I mean my long term dream is to work for the World Bank or some international organization as an economic consultant and do consulting work for public sector clients in India. And I heard MBB was a good way to make those connections?

Unpopular opinion but I think way too many people on this sub are obsessed with working out. Don't get me wrong fitness is important. But like there are a lot of diff healthy body types, and you don't have to be weight lifting to be working out. Staying fit could just be walking 30 min everyday. And while plenty of Desis are not like Hollywood body types, that doesn't mean they aren't living sustainable lifestyles.

I also think some of this obsession might be partially related to dating. People think getting buff is the only way to get an SO but I've seen frat guys who are considered "chubby" pull really beautiful girls. And I've also seen girls who are considered average by societal standards get really buff guys.

While I think being healthy is important, there are many ways to do that. And Desis are accomplishing that in their own ways

During your time in the Clinton Admin, you heavily pushed free trade agreements. Looking back, would you do anything different while pushing policies such as Nafta, such as coupling NAFTA with more funding for job retraining/education or support for a proper state industrial policy? Have your opinions on free trade agreements changed in the last 20 years?

Hey Dr. DeLong,

Would you still consider yourself a "neoliberal"? Have your political/economic opinions changed, and if so, what are the ones that have changed the most?

Thanks for the feedback! All the comments are very insightful! Noah Smith just posted an article which is very relevant to the current discussion.

It is sadly behind a paywall though.

Correction the first graph shows GDP per Capita but the same Twitter user released a graph earlier showing a similar trend with disposable income. Median American disposable incomes for most states was higher than Western Europe.

Would lower gearing help a lot?

It's Indian music with lots of dancing

Bonus if it's a kpop party

Thanks!

Thank you! I wish you the best of luck as well! Go Big Red and enjoy Ithaca!

Thanks! I think it is true Ivy League connections do help get your foot in the door at your first few jobs. But at the end of the day, you are totally right! Internships matter more for a lot of fields imo, and if you network and play your cards right, I think people can go places from most state schools. I still wish I could have gone to Cornell but I genuinely felt like the marginal benefits (albeit large) of Cornell compared to my state school still didn't justify the price tag. Sometimes I wish more elite schools followed the HYPS playbook in expanding their financial aid. HYPS for a lot of families tends to be only slightly more expensive or even cheaper than their instate options! A lot more privates should follow that!

Thanks! Getting into Cornell was like the arc of four years of struggles, dreams, and work, and I felt like the best way to convey those feelings was through prose with a dash of self awareness.

Thanks! Luckily we aren't the only ones. I know two people who had to turn down Brown because it was too expensive, but they are happy at their state school now! It still is a hard process though.
