<p>Macroeconomics is a hot mess. This piece is a complete, brutal piece by piece takedown of the entire field: <a href=“How Did Economists Get It So Wrong? - The New York Times”>How Did Economists Get It So Wrong? - The New York Times. It’s by a macroeconomist. I know some people don’t like the author, but it makes some very solid points.</p>
<p>Psych is a funny field. Got a deserved bad rep over the years for being easy and doing BS studies that don’t prove anything. Now in many places its turning into applied neuroscience + applied statistics = badassery. Depends on your department but probably better than sociology anyway in most cases.</p>
<p>Physics is probably the more obvious complement to CS. Then again everyone else probably figures that too. And there’s a lot of cool interesting difficult problems in computation chem. On the other hand, chem will be pre-med city, physics will be a mix of pre-meds and engineers.</p>
