I strongly agree. It is really a nightmare during my first year for Phd in Economics. My schedule for every days was 2 hours for three meals and on the road,6 hours in bed and 16 hours for study. No exception! Could not be ill!!

Together, we had 6 students enrolling in. A guy from Czech Republic dropped just after few weeks. He said it is the Math that frighten him. One guy run away for other school. at the end of the first year, one girl was not allowed to take Prelim for having C in two courses. Then, three took the Prelim and only two of us passed all the three courses. One could not pass in Macro and Econometrics. It is only two in six!

What a life this is!

亡羊补牢，为时不完。贵在行动，坚持！

我痴迷经济学，请给晚辈指点一二

的确！国内博士的教育上实在不行啊！

有差距啊！

看到之后才知道自己要走的路有多莫远..

无论如何,必须要吃苦阿...

好，就要这样，才出效果。看看中国的研究生培养

差距！！！

学线性代数吧！以后的计量经济学会很有用！

我觉得美国这种教育比中国好,这样才能培养出国家需要的人才

其实什么教育体制下都会培养出人才，关键是看个人能力培养和自制力了。

个人觉得无论中美，要成为经济学博士都在于自身的修炼。

经济学教育还是拿来，整体队伍差

博士还是要读的，关键对住自己

大海和小水坑都可能有大鱼的存在,但是存在的数量和几率,就可想而知了.

读博士的朋友可惨了，小学到高中吃苦，大学玩乐没几天，考上博士又要努力才行，此时年龄已大，前半生都学习了。遇到这样的情形，应该把孩子早些送出国。
