I suppose that is is wonderful if you want to be an engineer. Wait...you
went to a top-rated engineering school to become a bankster? What's that
old engineering school joke... "Before I went to engineering school, I
couldn't spell engineer...now I are one."

Bankstering...in the good old days in New England, white Protestant boys
with no particular skills went into banking because it was a white
collar job and they could wear a suit, and they didn't have to compete
with sharper, smarter Catholic and Jewish boys, for whom the banking
doors were mostly closed.

Were you at least a line officer at Citicorp or were you just a staff
puke with a title?

Your knowledge of the financial industry is so seriously deficient
that it sounds like it came from a comic book or a freshman level
political screed. My advice? Stick to what you know, whatever that
is.


Yeah, I figured you for one of those whitebread boys who went into
banking because it was a white collar job and you could wear a suit. So,
were you a line officer or just a staff puke?

Yes but they are watered down courses that don't require (or teach) in

How many would be appropriate to respond to FlaJim the Moron's idiotic
posit? And it doesn't say "all," it says "include." You know the
difference between "all" and "include," right?

Seems to me that "Liberal Arts" was what you signed up for in college
when you didn't have a clue what you wanted to be when you grew up.


Maybe that was my "Problem". I had a very good idea of what I wanted
to be when I grew up and I did it. Any education I sought was toward
that goal. Once I had a good job, I had the opportunity to seek
knowledge in all sorts of other fields and in other venues.


My dad parlayed his apparently significant graphic arts abilities he
developed in high school into an academic scholarship at a major
Pennsylvania university. His uncle, a Russian immigrant like his dad,
helped out, and during the Great Depression after graduation, he worked
for that uncle as manager of displays and merchandising for the latter's
small chain of variety stores, and also a store and regional manager.
When he had his boat store, my dad would spend the slow winter hours at
the store painting rather risque portraits of nudes and semi-nudes of
voluptuous women he never met, an avocation that drove my mom nuts. A
friend's father in Overland Park, Kansas, a real estate developer, had
artistic abilities, too, and he would sculpt nudes of well-developed
women he never met, a hobby that also drive his wife nuts. Ahhh, art!


Sure hope he didn't wear his arm out patting himself on the back as much as his son does.
