Seriously, please don’t even waste your time meticulously going through it and responding because it’s obvious you’re not going to reevaluate your opinion. I’ve gotten a very clear message of your perspective already, and though I appreciate it and I appreciate you sharing it with me, it won’t change what is fact. I love to be challenged actually, it’s one of the best ways to learn (and I have learned a lot from our conversation), but you’re simply arguing opinion against fact and therefore this isn’t the kind of challenge that I will waste any more time with. Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions.
You can argue your opinion against Stanford economists instead of me. I’m sure you could email Dr. Paul Oyer (who got his Ph.D. and MA from Princeton, MBA from Yale, and is a Professor of Economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and also a Research Associate with the National Bureau of Economics and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Labor Economics) or Dr. Camelia Kuhnen (who received her Ph.D. in finance from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and two bachelor’s degrees — in finance and neuroscience — from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and also served as president of the Society for Neuroeconomics and is a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research) and tell them they’re both wrong. Maybe you could also tell them it’s just “bullshit” and “they know squat” as you so eloquently stated before.
Maybe while you’re at it, you could also contact Stanford itself, Boston University, The Institution of Engineering and Technology, LinkedIn, Investopedia, AllAboutCareers, GradConnection, The Independent, AIESEC, and all of the other websites and resources aimed at helping college students be successful and tell them they all have the wrong information too.
Again, I wish you all the best! Goodbye JK. :)
