    How much are you making? I last got a paycheck in high school. What does that tell you? Hint: I make mad money

        You've got your scale wrong. He would be bankrupting thousands of grandmothers.
        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, 1891

          Full disclosure I use direct deposit, but the point I was trying to make is I have STOCKS and SHADY FRIENDS.

            I thought of that after I posted.

            I also thought to suggest he use a walker.

                  Yes. I'm serious about that. JP Morgan and Goldman held the financial system together by the skin of its teeth, and at least in Goldman's case, a lot of that was due to the team of 60 people I will be in.

                  Never have so many owed so much to so few....and not known it.



                  EDIT: not just the team, but the fact that this team is given so much weight in high-level decisions. This is a function of corp. culture and fundamental caution at the upper echelons of the company.

                        "20 schools produce 350 PhDs per year"

                        Are you sure? That seems a tad high, at least compared to biology-type PhD's. Most such departments I've been in produce 1-2/yr.

                          Yes, 350 is about right.

                          Many/most of the schools in the top 20 produce 15+

                          Hopkins is one of the smaller ones at ~12 or so

                          MIT does ~35 per year all by itself.



                          Those are not the 20 best departments, but there is significant overlap.
