Tonight’s coop shift was pretty much all people working in tech companies.
Things I learned:
– philosophy majors are especially adept to learning programming (it’s a similar part of brain) and that’s what many of them end up doing to pay off all that 6-figure Yale debt
– similarly, someone who was an art major can make a pretty good living working as a UX designer. But academia is a sh.tshow – so avoid it if possible.
– US Treasury department morale is at all time low (thanks to Trump and his promises to get rid of Dodd Frank)
– people who trade derivatives are still clueless – even more so than before. Most of them still have no clue how they work. Another 2008 is pretty much inevitable (also, if they keep dismantling regs)
