It's a shame that so many people will not attempt to follow on with their "dream job" goals.<p>At my UK University there is a strong culture of getting a good degree in a quantitative field, perhaps doing a PhD in a similar (but still quantitative) field and then being plucked out by a large investment bank to work as a "quantitative analyst". The salary is good, but I'm sure the work becomes tedious after a while. The process is almost as precise as an automobile assembly line!<p>I wish the culture of entrepreneurialism was stronger than the desire to go and price financial derivatives. After all, two/three hundred years ago nearly everybody was an entrepreneur (farmers). How things have changed...
This is pretty hilarious. Is "campaigning for green issues" going to do more for green issues than starting a startup like Craigslist that saves the world more wasted newsprint than all those activists put together?
