Yes, I feel rather silly and naive but it only took me about six months to realize that I was employed in something less than a noble and forthright endeavor. I am not one to speak badly of that which is in the past, so I will simply leave it at that.

So being young and unemployed in America today I know what I have to do: blog about it until someone comes along and bestows upon me a job that I find suitable to my imagined station in life. Clearly.

Well, maybe not. But I am on the job market and am actively pinging several employment sources. So if anyone knows of any economists with exceptionally sharp computer skills, written communication and mathematics skills who are retiring, please do let me know. I am their replacement.
