<p>kafkareborn, I too chose Wharton because finance is intellectually stimulating. I don’t see how Security Analysis is any less philosophy than any given text in a HYP curriculum.</p>
<p>Also, I’d like to offer a bit of a spin on this liberal art vs business discussion:
Liberal art kids are selfish. They take their gift (advanced cognitive abilities) and use them to their own enjoyment (arts / literature / history / intangibles). If great power comes with great responsibility, then it is kids of WHYPSM caliber who should be guardians in both societal design (politics) and resource allocation (economics and business processes).</p>
<p>Think about it: at the end of the day, people are better off with innovative businesses than with righteous discussions 99% of the population cannot comprehend anyway.</p>
