I think a lot about how the economic conditions you face when you first enter the labor market affect long run outcomes.

If you need a 200/month version of an LLM, Perplexity Max is probably the best. You get access to ChatGPT o3-pro, Claude Opus 4, Grok 3, Gemini 2.5 with no rate limits + Perplexity's database. The scheduled task and Spaces features are very useful as well (also available in Pro subscription).
