<p>@AgilityAce you say that kids coming straight from large schools (BC, UVA, UNC, etc) are better prepared than kids coming from small liberal arts colleges, but I wonder is that only because these schools offer specialized degrees such as Finance or Accounting which would obviously be valuable at an investment banking firm? I can see where a kid having an undergrad business degree might be able to “hit the ground running” immediately following college but I would think that over time that technical knowledge advantage would dissipate and that someone with a liberal arts degree would be just as successful, if not more successful than someone with a more focused business degree. From your experience in the banking world have you found this to be the case? I am genuinely curious since I will be starting at Wesleyan this month and the world of finance is an area I am interested in…</p>
