Shouldn't you be working before you tell people to,"get a job"?

[TheRiobezerko]

Of course Wharton students don't like OWS...they decided to attend Wharton largely on the hopes that the MBA they receive from that school will get them a high paying job on Wall Street.

One thing they might want to take into account is the fact that Wall St. isn't what it was 4 years ago. There are a lot fewer jobs now in the financial sector. They mock the protesters, but some of THEM may find themselves unemployed with a shitload of student debt in a couple of years.

MBA means Mediocre But Arrogant

@esc1127 "Applicants go in out of High School, not from the workplace. Now the only people that can afford to go there out of high school and are well connected enough to get past the strict admissions process are the super elite."

As a freshman Wharton student, I can assure you this is NOT true at all. You are most definitely more likely to meet wealthy, well-connected students here than at other schools, but they are by no means the majority.

@cherub42 yeah they dont ....they teach hard practical math and how to build a company ....no need for Irony when you go to the top business school in the U.S

@Douglas1102

"The average student has worked for five or six years between college and the MBA program. The program does accept early career candidates with limited or no experience who exhibit strong managerial and professional potential." see people who have previous advanced degrees, stellar academic performance or international athletic accomplishments.

@esc1127 you are smoking crack. There is an undergraduate program that is part of U Penn, but the real "Wharton School" is the graduate school. And like most top MBA programs, plenty go into finance, but they also become marketers, entrepreneurs, run hospitals and non profits. Do some research, you ignoramus! Did you even finish high school?

[esc1127]

@rwfw74 No you are either confused or trying to mislead everyone. This is a bankster school, nothing more.

Applicants go in out of High School, not from the workplace. Now the only people that can afford to go there out of high school and are well connected enough to get past the strict admissions process are the super elite. Over half of their graduates become investment bankers. Says it in the wiki. This is just a school of organized crime.

[rwfw74]

@esc1127 You are confused, sir. Wharton's MBA program is hardly filled with scions of the elite. It is filled with those applicants who have high GPAs, 95 percentile + GMAT exams and 3-5 years of high performance in the workplace or military. So, no.

[esc1127]

@rwfw74 Yeah it must be very hard work for their bankster parents to commit fraud and run their companies in the ground, lobby the government and bribe politicians to get taxpayer bailouts and use that to pay themselves bonuses so they can send their kids to some cushy elitist school. Very hard work indeed.

@TheMrLandon If you believe OWS is focused exclusively on bank regulation, you may have cracked a code that 100s of journalists have failed to achieve in the weeks they've been interviewing these folks. As for the Wharton students (admittedly weak) retorts, you can't blame them for resenting a horde of invaders painting all of business with the same broad brush.

[TheMrLandon]

@rwfw74 Respectfully, the outrage expressed by the protestors has nothing to do with "leftist outrage" and everything to do with the amoral behavior of the big banks.
