Weekend Wars: Miners vs. Bankers
|
Ok, so you guys have read me ranting on the subject of physical labor and commodity related endeavors for a while now. For those who do not know, I prefer the outdoors and manual labor to the white collar world. For the better part of the last American century, this sort of career choice would have placed me in the proverbial panting and pussified 99% of today. Things have changed greatly over the past few years, however, and it does seem that working hard in the field is once again becoming the average guy's best chance at striking it rich. Few stories better encapsulate the phenomenon than that of James Dinnison, a 25 year old high school dropout banking $200,000 a year running drills in underground mines. |  |

I might not agree with all that OWS has to say, but having interned at JP Morgan, THRICE, Morgan Stanley, Lazard, AND Bain Capital, and who currently works at a top hedge fund after attending HBS, I can say, with full confidence, I welcome all forms of riots if they’re against the very rich. You think I'm trolling? I'm not trolling. I feel this way and I'm sure many gunners feel this way too. This is MY manifesto for the up and coming hot blooded ambitious young gunners: |  |

Elite Firms Fishing in a Very Small Hiring Pool
|
re: Elite Firms Fishing in a Very Small Hiring Pool by Megan McArdle (Atlantic) on the hiring practices at elite firms and how "super-elite credentials matter much more than your academic record" Just makes me wish I worked harder in HS and got into a elite college and then wouldn't have to worry about much after that. But the interesting thing is, even within the Ivy League some are considered "prestigious" while others are not. For example, the EconLib article How Elite Firms Hire: The Inside Story notes that if you attended non-Wharton Penn, you're a dud. What do you think fellow monkeys? |  |
