That's just bull****. Universities typically have "Colleges of Arts and

into the real thing.

In a top rated engineering school the freshman 101 courses are already
the real thing and students are expected to hit the ground running.


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?
