There are many things that you can do with a Master of Public Policy degree, such as starting your own rock band! Here are some of the best possible econometric band names that we could derive.
The Corner Solutions (i.e. will not enter the workforce for any price)
The Free Riders
The Regressions
Loss Function
Errors Normally Distributed or E.N.D. -- a la 80's band O.M.D.
The Marginal Curves (a girl band)
The Homoskedastics (a queer band)
The Heteroskedastics (a hair band)
The CoVariants
Hot solo nightclub / economist soul singer
Sxy or
SExy
(i.e. the sample standard deviation or standard error for x,y)
The Ordinary Least Squares (a 50's - 60's cover band)
And, saving the best for last:
The Deadweight Losses (called the DWLs by its fans)
