[quote=Anonymous]I hate how threads like this that could be interesting because they're about an actual topic and people could share their relevant work experience always devolve into fighting about which schools are more highly ranked and therefore prestigious than others. Re: the business degree. Employers who are looking for specific skills (such as experience building or at least understanding how one would build a quantitative model) are not necessarily looking for someone from a particular school. They are looking at the way potential hires think. Sometimes "pedigree" matters less in these situations. I know that blows the minds of DCUM folks who cannot comprehend how some engineering or physics student from State U might be chosen over the business major from Wharton but in my experience, it happens. Finance is very mathematical these days. Especially the really specialized stuff. [/quote]
