I am trying to decide if I should write regularly on here and make it a part-time gig. As readers, you are the best people to ask. So, what do you think?
I asked this question on a post from a long time ago that was definitely not the right place to post it...
I’m 16 and have loved Econ since I was like 11. I loved to read the WSJ, watched so many Econ basics videos, and talked about the aggregate demand/aggregate supply model with as many people as I could. From what I’ve seen of the world and from reading people like you, I know a future in Econ can be *difficult* for women. Already I have been discouraged in math classes and encouraged to stick to history. Do you have any advice about how to start down the path of studying economics or someday a career for a young woman? Like would it actually be really beneficial if I knew more math than the average man in the class or if I was really well read on theory or had worked on any projects in these years? Thank you for your work!
#macromom would like your advice
