And they will call him Dr. Jason...

Why? Because starting this fall, Jason will be a PhD student in Economics at the University of Utah! He received his acceptance on Monday night, and even though he missed the deadline by a month, he was still able to get funding i.e. we don't have to pay for tuition! He will be working as a TA for lower division economics courses and will receive a small stipend. He applied for the program less than 2 weeks ago, so it was amazing to hear back so soon. Now we can know what to expect and how to prepare for it. The worst part will be that I won't see my husband very much while he is in school, but the rewards will definately be worth it when he is finished (a recession proof job!). Anyways, Jason has approximately 4.5 months before his life is sucked away by the fascinating world of market forces, derivatives and other fun economic stuff. So schedule him into your calendar now!
