You Know You have a Masters Degree in Economics When...

• You haven’t bought a text book in three years-all three of which were spent as a student.
• You look at the contents of a textbook (the ones you bought the first time in three years), and disappointedly conclude, “Meh…undergraduate stuff”.
• You feel dissatisfied with your understanding of a concept (any concept) until you have worked out the math.
• You remember more about Keynes’ love life than his economics.
• You categorise fantasy fiction into two types- One, including the works of Tolkein and Rowling. The other, more whimsical type covering development models.
• You understand that for a lot people (not necessarily economists), “in fact” means roughly the same thing as “in my opinion”.
• You are the only person in social gatherings who does not feel outraged by how low the poverty line is. (It’s a only a measurement benchmark people, relax!)
• People who studied physics are more likely to have solutions to the country’s economic problems than you. 
• Your friend circle can be neatly classified into people who read the Hindu and those who read the Economics Times.
  
  (Secretly, you would rather just read the Times of India.) 
• You think sociologists/ political scientists/schoolteachers have glamourous jobs.
