Across the river from Carleton, much harder though better today than when I was there.

What the hell is NESCAC?

According to my google, it's the New England Small College Athletic Conference, which is a D3 athletic division. The members include a number of the most selective liberal arts colleges in New England (and NY since Hamilton is included). People tend to use it like the Ivy League to describe a type of school, although just like the Ivy league there is a difference between the schools in the conference.

You're back!

Why do you want to be a sleazy politician? Why do you want to be bought by capitalists?

I don't. Any thoughts I ever had about getting into politics have almost completely vanished. I am no longer interested in running for office. I do not want to waste my life running for a seat that I will have very little chance of winning, and pandering to the masses. I either want to become a corporate attorney in a secondary market or a college professor/academic. Maybe I'll be the next Gordon Clark or Paul Gottfried.

You've told us your test scores. You won't be.

this - nice job raising a boring and utterly derivative bro, op.

Who cares? Takes all kinds in this world. Society needs investment bankers and stock analysts too.

Does it really?

It absolutely does not.

Failed states have less income inequality.

even going to Wharton/Penn is an automatic entry to WS. Unless of course you play lax.

But seriously, if that's your kid's dream and studies econ etc and does well - there's a pathway. Esp. if then go to business school. But depends what aspect of WS. It's not the same as the 90s, with lots more differentiated paths and positions.

Please grace us, Oh Virtuous One, with the many ways that you are contributing to the well being of mankind. But wait, you are just some schmuck posting on a website on a Friday night. Boring and utterly derivative, indeed.

Someone doesn't know how to read time. Looks like, two years of IB after laxxing at the d3 level didn't teach you how to read.

What are you talking about? Is this some type of idiot code that eludes the rest of us?

Major in math, comp sci, and/or Econ. Play water polo or lacrosse (or not, if you're really good at math). Get good grades and intern sophomore or junior year. Pretty simple path if you're at one of the good slacs (not sure if this is the case it's not a tgood one).

Sleazy pigs like Ted Cruz's wife?

Yes, both Cruz and his wife are sleazy pigs. You've got to remember that I'm a Paleoconservative. The only reason I liked Cruz at first was because I thought he was a social conservative who supported a non-interventionist foreign policy. Boy, was I wrong! He showed his true colors during the debates, and I've come to really despise him. He's a NeoCon hack/radical Zionist who wants to keep outsourcing American jobs overseas. I'm so glad he didn't get the nomination. The only people who vote for Cruz are dumb Evangelical Reaganites.

Which SLAC?
