don't need to be smart or go to an Ivy for this.
you just need connections (which people at Ivy's have due to their school)
>>1225028
Why does anyone even want to be one? The only threads I've seen on /biz/ about them involve working 80 hours a week and making 100k. That's not even slightly worth it.
>>1225067
I'd expand this to ANY field of law. Extremely over-saturated.
>>1225150
Even public defense? Because that often seems like the place entitled law students (see, all law students) try to avoid because it only provides a middle-class income and they don't want to put any time in to get somewhere better.

The CFA exams are babby tier shit.

What does the text translate as?
>>1225196
Left is capitalist, right is communist. I think, I can't read Cyrillic but they look the right size for those words and one starts KA while the other starts CO. I randomly tried the word slave and got "paб," and slavery is "paбcтвo". So it's probably something about capitalists being slaves while communists are free.
>>1225221
ive never understood "communism"
it would be impossible for everyone to be "completely equal" in an economic sense.
like "this guy is a doctor, and this one digs roads, we are communist!"... lol what?
Actually, communism is a word invented by the CIA in order to further alienate the american population from the chinese and russians... probably
>>1225221
Says that in socalist countries there is a right for work and in capitalism there is no right for work
and the guy with the sign on his back says work!

Many PD offices are very competitive. Others, in the middle of nowhere, not so much.
>>1225249
Odd. So "slave" and "work" have similar etymology in Russian? One is rab vs rabota?

>My family is from Soviet Union and they told me how engineers got paid less than simple assembly workers
this was to keep order and keep the plebs happy
Sounds like Canada

Any sort of science research job. You'll need a doctorate from a top university and some genuine talent to get one.
Not so much oversaturation of top scientists, but oversaturation of low-tier science graduates. Doctorate programs exist to filter out the ones who can get their heads around the complex stuff.
>>1225401
Like?
>>1225221
I can read Cyrillic but know no Russian, the left has something to do with labour in capitalist countries but I have no idea what bespravie means. The right says: "In socialist countries - right to work!"
>>1225453
I agree with you overall but I'd like to point out that retards graduate with doctorates all the time. In fact they're often stupider than their colleagues who didn't completely drink the koolaid and fall for the academia meme.
>>1225966

Why would anyone want to be an investment banker?
Well, the internships and analyst year suck, but at big banks they still clear at least $150k after bonuses in good years. Now, that's not rich in NYC, and they work a ton and often have lifestyle inflation forced on them to some extent. There are three reasons people do this.
1. Prestige; You went to Choate, then Yale, and now you don't know what you really want to do but you have great grades and CV items and there's a recruiter from THE GOLDMAN SACHS who can provide you with a societally approved, "prestigious" place to park you ass so you can save face and not tip people off that you're directionless. Yes, this happens. Many of these people burn out and leave or don't get promoted after their analyst years.
2: You plan to climb the ladder. This is either extreme ambition or your dad worked on Wall Street.
3: You've got it for real made and are going to make very nearly the mythical $300k starting at a hedge fund or some other less well known company. I know a guy from Harvard who did this. Top-level mathematics major.
You have to understand that most of the real candidates for these jobs have been working like dogs since kindergarten and don't actually think their analyst hours are abusive compared to prep school.
