Let me first explain the nature of my mission.
In our planet the organization of resources is what you would call communism. People are ranked when kids based on an exam we developed + DNA characteristics. Then they are trained to perform particular tasks necessary for society and consumption is the same to all.
A couple of decades ago we were studying different civilizations when we came across earth. There is no many things special on earth really. Your science is very primitive, to say the least. But here is the puzzle, your development is in a rate much higher than ours. There is no parallel in our history of the scientific development you had during the 20th century, for instance. There is no way for us to make sense of this so we started a science that was absent for us but you guys know very well: Economics.
My mission is to come to earth and study economics so I can go back to my planet and help developing a economics department. I am part of the 3rd generation of aliens to come with this mission but the first 2 were failures.
The 1st generation failure was because we didn't know what were the prerequisites to study economics. So the selected Aliens didn't have a good math background. They got into PhD programs but they all have B+ in real analysis. Once we learned the importance of an A+ in real analysis we canceled their mission and sent them back to our planet.
The 2nd generation failure was due our working system. They got their PhDs and actually performed pretty well during the job market with several interviews and flyouts. Of course they decline all their job offers and went back to our planet to create the Econ department. But our system every position is like a tenured position. So once they got into the program they were already deadwood.
But we learned from these failures. The previous generations identified that EJMR is the best source of info for economics and told us to seek advise here so this 3rd mission is a success. That is why I am here asking you for any tip that could help with our mission.
Thanks in advance for your help,

PS: We may try to colonize you in the future, but it is still going to take a couple hundreds of years. So you can relax by now and stop the movies of alien invasions.
