I was hoping I wasn't the only Wharton MBA in this forum. Alas, it's so very lonely under the 5th standard deviation of the right hand tail of the bell curve.
you should rather feel sorry for yourself. Unfortunately, Wall Street is full of guys like you. So what? Do you guys make the world a better place to live? I feel sorry for you. If you were so smart you would draw your self confidence from other ventures than merily telling everyone where you studied at. But this seems one of the only experiences that you succeeded at. And especially it sounds as if you have never heard of the word philanthropy. Maybe you should try it. Because then you would experience what it means to make this world a better place to live in. And it would also teach you that most people who have moved this world, advanced this world, and are un-forgotten are those people who do not need to show off like you. I hope you did not just get into Wharton because of your nice daddy. BTW, I studied at Japan's best university, I will next year begin my Ph.D as financial engineer under one of the world's most accomplished professors in the field and have worked for one of the top investment banks. So, what does this make me? It only shows that I have accomplished something accademically and work wise. So what? I draw all my happyiness from my family, friends, and my involvement in non-for-profit organizations and projects. So, don't tell others and especially not me that only because one studied at such university means that that person can be trusted and believed. You must be kidding me. The same number of pricks are studying at such institutions than anywhere else. So, stop showing off because you lack the most obvious: Happyness and self confidence in your own qualities or lack thereof. Hope you can find out how to live without holding up your graduation certificate and wearing your uni sweater, because you can't take those into the grave. Go and accomplish something!!!
then you must have lived in the forests for your entire life. At least, you have not lived or worked in the financial community (professionals, not prop firms or the like) otherwise you would know what bragging I am talking about. I merely stated my academic qualifications in order to let Mr. SuperMBADegree know that I am not talking out of the blue. I have worked and studied with guys as stupid as hell at an excellent investment bank/university. I also experienced people so full of sh.. and with such big egos they were absolutely unable to work as part of a team. They were basically intolerable. A degree from an ivy league uni does not mean a thing. Or can you see how Yale prepared Pres. Bush for his present post? Do you want to compare it to the intelligence, intellect, and foresight of V. Putin? Well, you could but you would have to build 10 such brains into Bush to come out approximately even. I am not Russian (btw) but I am a realist.
