[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn’t agree more. I went to a liberal arts degree & worked in investment banking in ny. There were more colleagues with liberal arts degrees than finance/business majors (for undergrad). I loved having them on my team bc pretty much across the board they were great writers and stepped back and looked at various approaches to everything. [/quote]

There’s a well documented reason for this, and spoiler alert, it’s not the inherent superiority of a liberal arts education.[/quote]

And the reason is??[/quote]

NP. Because the people who end up at those firms are from the rich and well-connected families where they don't actually need to get real degrees and real jobs to survive. Needing to actually support yourself (and your family) in life without inheritances or funded college funds or gifts from grandparents or handshakes from daddy to get you jobs means that you can't just study fluff and know that you'll be fine. The fact that you're apparently clueless about that really just proves the point. Most of us can't get 200k into debt in order to earn a degree that qualifies us to do exactly nothing.[/quote]
