I thought that was the main benefit ❤️. (Or that was the main reason I wanted in.)

I love it so much.

Just like journalists and editors!!

And professional futurists/foresighters.

underrated penalty of not having a professional career or any academic association: you are entirely cut off from research materials

I should stop complaining over the recent funding rejection and be glad I have a job! It really is an amazing privilege!

you can complain. I know it's frustrating. but there are millions of curious and creative people who are locked out of our common knowledge. academia has always been an exclusive enterprise.

It really is just the saddest part of not being in academia for me. I still want to learn 😭

Also of being an economics editor 🥰

I've taken a bunch of pretty wild turns in my career, and it's been FUN.
