guess I should tell kid they will be unemployable at the end lol).

Hardly! The only advantage the top few programs have in terms of employment opportunities are for kids who are determined to stay in academia and want to land a tenure track job at a T10.

Plenty of much-more-high-paying-than-academia jobs to go around for econ PhD grads.

Amusing that the fall back career path for econ PhDs chasing tenure track jobs is a much higher paying industry job.

Not many academic fields have that luxury.
