/his/, I'm an econ major and I want to lead a moral life.
What should I specialize in, in order to do moral work? I don't even know if I should go macro- or microeconomics.

Effective altruism told me I should study economics and get a phd, but they never specified more than that what I should actually do WITHIN economics.

I would suggest just getting the best job you can with the highest salary and then giving money to charity.

Well 8000 hours said I could do either that and then go into finance, or pursue a phd in economics. The latter being far more preferred.

That doesn't even sound like an insult.

Start by reading Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead.

Then study Objectivism.
