[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I come across resumes for ivy's I will tell you what is really stupid. What is really stupid are the people who go to ivy league schools and graduate with a history or communications degree. Not just stupid because of the degree but REALLY stupid because they wasted all that money to get that type of degree at a very expensive school.[/quote]

Dunno.  Michael Lewis graduated from Princeton with an Art History major, [b]got hired right away by an investment bank[/b], and made a gazillion dollars as an author of books like The Blind Side and Moneyball.  Doubt that would have happened if he was an Accounting major at LSU.  [/quote]

From wiki so usual caveats:  "attended Princeton University where he received a BA degree (cum laude) in Art History in 1982 and was a member of the Ivy Club.  He went on to work with New York art dealer Daniel Wildenstein. He [b]enrolled in the London School of Economics, and received his MA degree in Economics in 1985.  Lewis was hired by Salomon Brothers and moved to New York for their training program[/b]. He worked at their London office as a bond salesman.

Assuming this is correct, it wasn't his art history degree that landed him the job with Salomon Brothers[/quote]
