A little over three years into the job, I realized that I wanted to go to a graduate degree program where I could learn quantitative skills in economics and sharpen my skills on infrastructure finance, particularly in developing country contexts. I was sold! I am immensely grateful to my study group friends for helping me manage the academic load. We made study schedules, set internal deadlines and allocated tasks and the entire process made the workload extremely manageable.
In addition, each course had a teaching team comprised of a faculty member, a teaching fellow usually a PhD student , and course assistants—they were a tremendous help! Every month, we had a cultural night that focused on a specific country or region, which included cultural performances, presentations, and, of course, food!
I organized one of those nights, where I showcased Nepali food and cooked for 70 people. Most of my classmates came with external funding and only a few got scholarships from the school, but that does not mean prospective applicants should not consider the program.
The technical skills you learn in the program, the opportunities you will find, and the network you will be connected to are second to none. My boss at that time, family members, and work colleagues convinced me into going to HKS and I am happy I did so. Although the cost of attendance seems really high, you will have tons of time to pay it off. In addition, the school has programs like the HKS Loan Assistance Repayment Program to help make your education less financially stressful.

ET deadline. For more than 15 years, Professor Linda Bilmes has led the Harvard Kennedy School Applied Field Lab , a course in which Harvard graduate students partner with cities and local governments to tackle some of their most complex financial and operational challenges. She spent her first of two summer internships working on an early-stage product at Loon, a Google X startup with the mission of expanding Internet access to rural and remote communities worldwide with a network of balloons in the stratosphere.
Prior to attending graduate school, Jenna worked as an Economic Consultant in Los Angeles for three years and as the Chief of Staff of a sanitation social enterprise in Kenya for one year. She is a first-generation college graduate and earned an Honors B. First, I wanted to explore how to best leverage technology as a catalyst for international social impact.
Second, I aspired to build a framework that can help me to understand and address complex, entangled, and seemingly intangible political and societal problems. And third, I hoped to build meaningful and supportive relationships with classmates by pushing each other to pursue our passions. Their optimism and resilience have encouraged me to continue to pursue my career goal of building compelling technology products that have the potential to drastically improve lives and livelihoods across the globe.
Climate change destabilizes ecosystems, accelerates biodiversity loss, causes human deaths, and damages economies. Responsive leadership is more important than ever. Harvard Kennedy School is committed to helping make human activities sustainable—through its operational practices on campus and through its research, teaching, and engagement with the world. Hoping to get a phone call for a job interview, the grad student sinks deeper and deeper into despondency with every passing hour.
Shaking hands with someone he is certain torpedoed one of his manuscripts, the grad student imagines the sounds of bones being crushed. After a certain number of sales, I will have to temporarily stop taking pre-orders, so get to one sooner than later!

Running this site got us through some of the not so fun parts - the late nights, the long hours, the difficult cases, the seemingly constant anxiety, the let-me-question-all-of-my-life-decisions-that-led-me-here moments. This site has also helped us personally make sense of so many of the social injustices that have occurred during the past five years. So, while we are so sad to say goodbye, we are officially retiring CBGS.
Thanks to everyone for reading, liking, reposting, submitting, and being part of this with us. Thank you!! So many congrats to confessionsofabrokegradstudent and also many thanks for the love.
