Inside the Occupation
As a young kid I watched a show on TV, a semblance of Deal or No Deal, and concluded that I wanted to become an economist just like the young girl that confidently won the show and left everyone in awe with her intelligence and wit. I was just 12. To me, becoming an economist meant being smart, young, witty. Winning games on televised shows and walking off with the stack of cash kind of a witty.
