I am considering pursuing a PhD in economics in the future, but for now I am planning on taking a short break from academics.&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222; background: white;\">What did you enjoy the most working at Carleton?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222; background: white;\">The community was probably the thing I enjoyed the most working at Carleton. I had the opportunity to work with so many great, talented, smart, and hard-working people who I could not have finished my Masters without. I also loved how knowledgeable and helpful my economics professors were. My economics professors were one of the main reasons I picked Carleton for my masters. I want to give a special shoutout to Professor Minjoon Lee who helped and inspired me to pursue my masters. I would also like to thank Professor Frances Woolley for the help\/advice she gave me for graduate school and Professor Raul Razo-Garcia who provided me with lots of one-on-one help\/advice during my masters. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43245,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Michael","cu_people_last_name":"Tate","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[359],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-43244","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-2022-outstanding-graduating-students"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Graduating Masters Student","cu_people_degree":"M.A (Carleton)","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/43244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/43244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43246,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/43244\/revisions\/43246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=43244"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=43244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
