I dated a finance major (in the undergrad business school) for two years when I was at Georgetown. My impression of her classes was the same - that they were training, not education, and intellectually void.
That said, she's now a successful analyst at Merrill, so she must have gotten something out of it.
- jmm 17y agoDepends what you mean by "something," I suppose. Pedigree and pathway, sure. Knowledge and real training? That's the issue being discussed here.
- endtime 17y agoPedigree and pathway would get her hired, but not make her successful. She got 5/5 ratings in her recent reviews.
- jmm 17y agoThis is a silly back and forth until you can point at the "something" she got from b-school aside from pathway and pedigree. Again, that's what's being discussed. It's certainly possible that the degree got her the job, yet her own natural intelligence, undergrad experience, or professional experience led to her success. And /not/ the b-school curriculum.
- endtime 17y agoYeah, I suppose that's reasonable - in fact, it's probably true.
