The guy at the Federal Reserve I'd been emailing with about semiconductor supply chains got in touch a few days ago and it was very funny to only me to say in an email to a Fed economist "given the recession I'm pretty sure I'm sticking around for a PhD"
Realizing that supply chain research is actually a skill set useful to the Federal Reserve I briefly looked at research jobs there but I think my tendency to call economics "cute when it pretends to be science" would be a hindrance
