I hear that alot! I feel like for people who are interested in more macro works a MSW has kinda been pigeon holed in micro work sadly. Like I care about social economic policy mostly. I think a MSW is valuable but a MPA might be more so for what I want to do.

Thanks alot for this, truly.

Yeah it's kinda reassuring in a way.

Yes, my first year was fully remote, second was remote then in person with covid precautions and my third and last back to normal. But I dunno think that's the whole of it. Like I see ppl on campus and they seem like covid had little impact on them. I think something is wrong with me, but I have been looking into social disconnection and loneliness lately, and I seems like, I'm not to dissimilar from many in Gen z.
