We need to normalize telling people to STFU about things they know nothing about. Starting with people with business degrees yammering about the arts and humanities.
Marc Rowan, chair of Wharton's advisory board, "said faculty members in Wharton [,] as well as the engineering and medical schools, care about academic excellence and research. 'If you are in [Penn's] arts and sciences school,' said Rowan, 'not so much.'" www.inquirer.com/education/ma...
Rowan said faculty members in Wharton, as well as the engineering and medical schools, care about academic excellence and research. “If you are in our arts and sciences school, not so much.”
He probably failed biochem and is still mad about it.
Could leave the second sentence at “Starting with people with business degrees.”
Arts and sciences, even!
J. Michael Straczynski has a story about a script where he had to cut a character’s “Not everyone has their own personal Ahab” line because an exec at the table didn’t know the reference & the exec “had a Harvard MBA” so if he didn’t know it of course no one else would either.
Or people with business degrees going on about anything, really.
This guy doesn't even know anything about business. He's in private equity, which is basically an anti-business.
I taught some at Penn and trust me, the Wharton students were not the best. I had one who was quite angry that she had to go to the library for an assignment. She later expressed amazement at how useful the library actually was once she went there. 🤦🏼♂️
Blockheads.
I've long held the belief that business degree should be used as honeypots. If they finish their degree, when walking for graduation, they're ushered into a boat and sent to a Lord of the flies style Island to do whatever they want.
