Karen Ho went to Wall Street for her dissertation: https://www.amazon.com/-/dp/0822345994 https://www.amazon.com/-/dp/0822345994 Anthropologists don't commonly

  > Anthropologists don't commonly live in mud huts, that's just a prejudice. Where the heck did that come from. I'm well aware of cultural anthropology and have worked with a couple on academic grants. I just think those more familiar with oral tradition of tribes would have an amazing time in a software company. Also, just for your information, not all tribes live in mud huts, that's just a prejudice.

    The mud hut was intended as a sideswipe at the fairly large HN faction that believes that only the hard sciences are a worthwhile pursuit and that the arts and humanities are for penniless losers. Also, Nigel Barley's Notes from a Mud Hut. (Yes, now I realize how the previous comment can be misunderstood, sardonic groans don't translate into written text.)

      I probably wouldn't have taken quite the offense if I wasn't actually typing this from a reservation in the US. My first vision of tribal is a bit different.
