  1. M4L – most people who get law degrees these days either don’t get jobs or get paid the same amount they could have gotten if they just skipped law school entirely.

  2. “What if you gave the same math problem to people on the F train?”

    The homeless guy would use it as toilet paper. The subway crazy would eat it. The hipsters would say something ironic about it but would do nothing to actually solve the problem. All of the people in publishing going from the slope to manhattan wouldn’t understand it.

  3. Lech, just imagine the (lack of) success rate and (increased) number of blank stares you would have gotten on the 7 train if you gave those riders the same mathematical problem!

  4. Biff,

    spoken like a Banker. Most finance degree folks are not lucky enough to be front line rev gen gigs in banks. Most are back office corp finance gigs. So overall, I think law degree >>>> finance degree

  5. “I bet if you gave a pretty simple mathematical problem to everyone in a Metro North train car at 7 am and everyone in a Metro North train car at 9 am a much higher percentage of the 7 am people would solve the problem.”

    And, after solving the problem, if they weren’t happy with their bonus, they would threaten to take another train the next day.
