What do you think about economists earning CFA or CPA? is there many people doing that?
Do you think this financial turmoil will change financial education significantly? like knowledge of derivatives go useless?

Too many Questions....

Well, he has the most fish under his name, which is basically the same thing.

How do you get fish? Are they just a function of posts?

If I had the answer to that my friend, you wouldn't be reading this post, you'd be seeing an endless string of fish spilling out from under my name.

I'm pretty sure it is based on number of posts...

Theorem: (d fish/d #posts) >= 0

Proof: Let f: # of posts --> # of fish

f(Young Economist) = 4
....
f(Jeeves0923) = 2
....
f(Tragically Hip) = 0

By induction, f is a non-decreasing monotonic function w.r.t. # of posts
==> (d fish/d #posts) >= 0

Q.E.D.

So that 6% at F&E is the ratio between people who applied and enrolled and not the ratio between people who applied and got accepted. So it is not that hard to get in. However, in the F&E it still seems like a lot of people have amazing profiles (that is what I am doing right now). If you are interested PM me.
