<p>Somewhere along the line …</p>
<p>I’m tempted to do a little “piling on” of those 44% and 41.5% groups of social potential who “waste” themselves in Finance or Consulting. But the fact is that the kids didn’t create the system – they’re merely reacting to the system that’s in place. Now maybe I’m feeling overly generous this afternoon, after having spent the day in Court trying to undo the damage done by a poorly worded legal document. But can I really be blamed for wasting a day of my life that way? I looked at my options and said “I don’t like it, but this is my best option.” How is that different from a 22 year old MIT math major looking at his options and saying “Well it isn’t the London School of Economics, but after a few years on Wall Street I should be pretty well set?”</p>
