Seeing as the both of us did econ, something tells me your expectations are entirely too high. -

How do you prefer to split hairs then? Business? Management? Finance? I hate to be the one to break it to you, but in this century everything non-science is in the same boat as filosophy or communications unless you have a few nepotistic hookups and/or herculean networking skills. Barring that you'd better get ready to burger-flip your way through an MBA or (god forbid) JD just to stand out.Originally posted by Naked Gents Rut View PostComment

Rough, long run.
Anyways, I don't know why we chose a bureaucrat to give a speech.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I was history and international relations. I'm not bitter about it, though; I look forward to serving my science degree-holding superiors.

Huh, with the way you went through pages with KH about beancountery and even knew about quantum finance I figured it was more than a hobby. I don't know if those majors would translate into an MBA without a ton of preparation, but a master's or PhD in IR would always be worth the effort these days, and of course anyone with a pulse can get into law school.
I, for one, also welcome our new four-eyed overlords.

I've taken a lot of econ/finance since. Still can't hold a candle to KH and other real quant types, but I'm trying.Comment

Seantor Paul Simon and Rigoberta Menchu were at my graduationChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
