What is it like to be a social scientist ?

For his time, Plato was a technically a mathematician.
Philosophy and maths were essentially merged in ancient greece, in fact the place where plato taught had a sign reading "Let none ignorant of geometry enter".

R and Stata are programs that allow you to perform statistical analysis on a professional level. It includes pretty much anything anyone could ever think of. There are packages for everything, seriously.

I hate stata with a passion

Good thing that is in my past now.

I don't like it either. I see absolutely no reason to use stata over R or python.

python LUL

Anybody here? I have a question.

Yes, if you want to do an econ PhD you'll be more than welcome and will honestly have an easier time than if you had done a BA in economics.

Yeah I second this, nowadays a BA in econ will put you behind a stats or math BSc for econ grad school, it's pretty funny desu.
