Why this "crisis" is good.

<p>

It takes almost no math/finance skills to be an analyst? Then why bother go to college at all, hire them straight from high school.</p>

<p>You go to law school to learn law and practice law, same with medicine. Therefore, you need to study finance to work in the field, and not write papers about Jane Eyre.</p>

<p>This is all irrelevant since the industry is finito, and you, liberal arts degree, ivy league graduates, with only two weeks of training, killed it.

</p>

<p>Yes, the kids with two weeks of training were put smack dab in the most powerful positions in the banks and brought them down! Fuld only had two weeks experience. When I see posts like this I remember that you can never underestimate the ignorance/stupidity of the American people. </p>

<p>Dick Fuld graduated from University of Colorado and managed to bring down Lehman. He also got an MBA. Look how those states schools + business skills clearly outshine us LA ivy graduates. </p>

<p>And if you think I could just sit on my ass for 4 years and had an ibanking job coming to me you’re insane. I did the same thing that got me into my school, got great grades, did tons of EC’s, and networked like crazy. Most kids at my school didn’t get jobs on the street and I came from a top ivy. It’s hard as hell to get them, even from an ivy. </p>

<p>It’s clear that you either 1) Didn’t get into an ivy and are bitter, 2) Didn’t get an IB job and are bitter, or 3) both (most likely).</p>
