WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

AC Dropout:

You truly are clueless:

"What are you talking about. None of the Big 4 or 5 gives anyone credit for an advanced degree."

Try looking under McKinsey, BCG, et al. websites. Look under MBA/Advance degree recruiting versus analyst/consultant/undergrad recruiting. Once you're done...give me a full report of what an idiot you are.

Next look under Goldman, Morgan, SSB, Lehman, et al's website. Look under the stand advance degree versus undergrad recruiting. Give me a report on that too, because you're clueless.

BA/BS = start as analyst.

MBA/JD/PhD = start as associate

Later from law firm or industry with JD/MBA/PhD = start as associate and maybe a couple of years credit, depending on a variety of factors.

You don't need prior banking experience as an analyst to get in to banking. I didn't, but ended up starting with GS. You do need some prior type of work experience, though.

Obviously, you have confused too many stories from your overachieving cousins. Once you get out of college or, most likely, high school, then come and talk to us grown ups.

Hello, those associates had past experience with investing banking firms. Very rarely do you find a dermatogist, a real estate lawyer, or a professor of anthropology in an investment bank.

It's harder for the MBA's to move out of the financial world.

Tell this to AC! What happens if an individual who has a MBA and becomes a sacrificial goat in the financial world? Yep, it's harder for this individual to find employment outside of the area of finance and business, unless he or she has something to fall back on such a JD, MS, MA or a PHD.

Regarding the poster AC Dropout...there seems to be several AC Dropouts lurking in the forums. One is the real one and the others are imPOSTers. Perhaps all of them are just tricksters.

In another forum regarding AAs and Wealth, this AC Dropout person said the MBA is a useless degree. Then there was this AC Dropout who said he dropped out of college to earn fat profit$$$, which contradicts another one who holds 3 degrees and believes education is more important than just earning $$$.

Another AC said San Francisco is a nice city and would go there again, but then tells San Franciscans that he wants to visit the city because he hasn't been there!

Sometimes he speaks like an educated, accultured individual. Other times he makes mistakes in his spelling and grammar like English was his 2nd language.

Many clowns come here! Thursday, June 20, 2002 at 12:22:20 (PDT)

Annapolis-Harvard Law Grad,

"You get one shot as an entrepreneur to make it big...bankers just keep on rolling."

You're comparing the earnings of an employee to an employer. I think you're out of your mind. You must have some pretty strange view of the world if you employees make as much as their employers. You also must have a pretty strange definition of freedom of lifestyle when comparing employees and employers. As for risk management and measure of sucess it is always better to be the employer than the employee. VC, I-bankers, JD, MD, etc. are all employees and must work as the employers dictate or be terminated. Have you ever worked before?

It was part of their strategy for companies that were stated in the tech boom to go public. Their measure of sucess and feasibility are much different than traditional business which were build to be profitable and on going. Those .com companies were short term to reach market. Then they goal was to reach a status of M&A with other companies. In any event most of the .com that occurred later were not started entreprenuers they were employees of the VC fund managers and the angel investors.

Of course the market could not support an infinite amount of .com going public in the same niche. That why some of those that were the first to go public still exist based on first market advantage. And those that came later on were doom to failure.

In the grand scale of things there are more private companies than public ones. The flaw of the .com economy lies that it was treated as a cookie cutter process after a while. Business Plan --> VC ---> incubation ---> public ---> bankruptcy.

"one shot as an entrepreneur"

What are you talking about. You get as many shots as you got guts to swallow the risks. As an employee you get limited chance of sucess, then you're fired or left in corporate limbo. As an employee you will never need to take huge risk and collect on a steady paycheck.

Depending on one's personality and goals will determine an individuals ability to succeed on either side of the employer / employee equation.

MBA is too often overrated ...

Often I see an AA engineering (college) grad working as a waiter at a Chinese restaurant and telling me that he is saving money for an MBA program ...

I tell the truth but few believe ...look, if you can't get a decent job as an engineer after finishing a decent college, and must work in restaurants to survive, you ain't going to get any high-paying job with an MBA, assuming that the business school would value the waiter experience on your resume ...
