Thanks to John Whitehead for organizing this great AERE-sponsored session at the SEA meetings on tips for young economists. The speakers were superb and — despite being environmental economists — I think had great advice for any economist and for othe social scientists.

Perhaps my favorite was Laura Taylor’s talk on balancing family and work. I’m not sure that it had much great advice in it, really, on the balancing question. But, it had a few gems (‘outsource everything’) and a lot of very useful information. How one uses that information, of course, is where the real advice might be crucial. Still, it’s great info and great reminders of the powers of the clock.
