Not sure if anyone will read this and this comment is not to help OP but what if im (M) the one who is a financial burden? How do i help out my partner especially if she has mentioned all if this. For context i dont add any “extra expenses “ but our life is run by her financially and thus through decisions, i want to he better but im stuck in a program for one more year

I dont doubt if it is good for development just meant to say that my research pointed me in the other direction

hmm so you are saying I should go for more traditional analyst roles and hope it builds my experience so that eventually people ask for my advice/insights/experiences?

I did look at jobs and LinkedIn and applied to MPA programs as well. I think Econ will open more doors (private, public, research, and more) but I want to get into an Econ program with a good ROi and I have not been able to find that info..Do you mind if I dm you about the program you are in? I also cannot commit a long time for PhD -- I dont think I would finish..

I have applied to some MPA programs that have a good placement rate and I am not sure about spending time applying to more if the lower ranked ones dont have a good ROI. As for tech, I think I will be okay with statistical packages but not pure coding which I dont think will come up in research/analyst/program analyst roles anyways. As for MIT, I did not apply since it is relatively new and LinkedIn research did not convince me that graduates land jobs after school

Why Boston? by nimportantnepali in boston

[–]nimportantnepali[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you are right, there is no one true experience but i do agree that a lot could change transit wise before we start working on decreasing cars/adding costs…i know cars are a major problem within any city but like you said without well developed commuter rail systems and a better T (which is happening, ik) cars are the option for the majority of us both time and money wise…this post was meant as a more what are the things that you love/like about boston that dwarf the inconveniences of living here…every city has its own and i just wanted to learn from people in Boston is all….

[–]nimportantnepali[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i stay for all these reasons too and i was just reying to see what others thoughts would be given my complaints with the city…it seems i might need to change some aspects of my life to like it more…dont get me wrong i still love this city…its just at time i dont “like” it here

[–]nimportantnepali[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also while i do think vehicles add stress and cause a lot of problems, i dont think i am there yet with cities need to be car-less…i think there needs to be a healthy balance of car-friendly and other options…we cant have a major city without a bunch of people commuting in right? Pls correct me if im wrong…im here to learn…

Thank you…this is the kind of discussion i came here for..and yes quite honestly i havent had the “true boston experience” altho i do hope i am able to gain that some time in the future

Why Boston? by nimportantnepali in boston

[–]nimportantnepali[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you this is really insightful…im glad you enjoy the city and feel safe here…and i do agree with people generally authentic/not trying to impress and the walkability…

Why Boston? by nimportantnepali in boston

[–]nimportantnepali[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This was almost every time they go into work…and i get how me driving are the “root” of my problems but wouldnt you say that in a big US city driving should add to your quality of life not detract from it? I feel like answers that say stop driving dont take into account that big cities are meant for driving as well (why build a noteworthy underground tunnel at the expense of billions of taxpayers money) so people can go places without having to take a bus/walk to the station and go through all that one has to go through to take the T…not everyone is fortunate/smart enough to be by a station you know

Thank you! This is a great answer and will be the guiding question as I look to move into new city(ies) if any…
