<p>Duke econ isn’t generally considered in the same league.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the feedback. </p>
<p>I would eventually like to get a PhD, and economics is something I’d be very interested in pursuing. </p>
<p>I think it could be a good career transition catalyst later on…I’ve thought about becoming a chief economic advisor to a bank or government…and you can always go into academia.</p>
<p>It’s just that I can’t see giving up 5 years of a good paying job, with awesome benefits, to pursue a PhD at this point.</p>
<p>Well, you’ll know when you’re ready. When the day comes, you’ll just know. No hurry for a PhD.</p>
<p>ucbchemE,</p>
<p>welcome to the engineering exodus club, the largest club for career-changers. i am a member and i was a chemE too. what a waste of time studying it all those years! i was pulling those all-nighters for nothing! :rolleyes:</p>
<p>UCB:</p>
<p>I’d recommend Harvard if for no other reason, your kids would be legacy. :D</p>
<p>Definitely Harvard for postgrad Economics. Any school would really have a hard time competing with Harvard. Cambridge would be the best alternative to Harvard for Econ. </p>
<p>Personally, Chicago’s Economics is just as good as Berkeley, MIT and Stanford’s.</p>
<p>Sorry to ambush this thread.</p>
<p>My friend is going to study postgrad economics at Brown University. How good is the postgrad Econ at Brown? Is it as good as the one at Cal, Princeton, Stanford, Chicago and the like?</p>
<p>i don’t recall seeing brown being among the top-tier in econ graduate ranking.</p>
