Ok, but now what?

By Ian

I don't mean to take up space here, where we could be "almost posting on economics", but my massive egotism and megalomania* compels me to mention something. The tests are done, the papers turned in, and fines payed. So, in about 24 hours, I'll have successfully snookered another fine institution into letting me do The Walk thing again, this time for the sheepskin indicating I'm a full-fledged MPP. What that means, precisely, I never really did figure out.

It's been a great experience, if for no other reason than it convinced me that I'm not done yet. I know, I'm a glutton for this kind of punishment. But you might as well stick to what you do well (does that make anyone else think of They Might Be Giants? No? My bad then...). In my case, I'm still looking for that, so after a year or two to get cash coming back in, and to figure out an attack plan, I'll be heading back to academia to figure out if there is, in fact, something out there that I do well. Provided that Kevin lets me stay around T&B, I suppose you might well be subjected to some thoughts on the process.

In the meantime, I'm moving out to DC for a good job at a good company. If anyone knows of a decent apartment for a good price...

*I'm always torn on posting personal information. It's largely of no interest to anyone but me. In this case, though, I'm sufficiently proud/surprised that I'm hoping everyone will forgive me for the brief transgression...

Of course, you're welcome to stay at T&B as long as you like.

Congrats on the Masters!

Yeah, good luck find a reasonably priced apt. in DC. I was just there a few weeks back and was shocked at how the real estate market has risen.

Kudos on the Master's: There is life after Hyde Park, altho the adjustments can be severe.
