[12:46] <advy> studying what
[12:47] <thean> managerial accounting, midterm tomorrow.
[12:47] <thean> then financial mgmt II, for a midterm next friday
[12:47] <advy> haw haw
[12:47] <advy> i took those same classes
[12:47] <thean> I like finance
[12:48] <thean> and financial accounting
[12:48] <thean> but managerial accounting is teh suck
[12:48] <advy> it's easy
[12:48] <advy> both
[12:48] <MerlWrK> I never did like accounting and finance
[12:48] <MerlWrK> although I have an accounting degree :-(
[12:48] <thean> well, I would not describe our finance courses as easy
[12:48] <advy> their all easy
[12:48] <thean> ok, I should throw some problems your way then
[12:48] <thean> heh
[12:49] <ingenio> easy maybe
[12:49] <ingenio> but boring and tedious
[12:49] <MerlWrK> right
[12:49] <ingenio> which is far worse than difficult
[12:49] <advy> memorize whatever gay ass formula it is based on some dumb shit question
[12:49] <advy> rinse repeat
[12:49] <thean> thats not learning.
[12:49] <advy> you learn, cause it helps you remember the dumb ass question
[12:49] <ingenio> hahahah
[12:49] <MerlWrK> it's better to understand how finance works
[12:50] <thean> precisely.
[12:50] <ingenio> do you think anyone really "learns" shit from required undergrad classes?
[12:50] <MerlWrK> and how income statements, balance sheets work and the function they serve
[12:50] <thean> yes, some people do.
[12:50] <thean> 95% do not
[12:50] <thean> but that makes it easier for the top 5% to make mad cash
[12:50] <MerlWrK> I work at a financial firm and people stare at income statements all day lo
[12:50] <ingenio> if you want to learn finance, you can do a much better job, in a shorter ti
[12:50] <advy> calculus on the other hand, i memorized *, did oK. still don't know wtf it me
[12:50] <MerlWrK> it's good to understand how they work as opposed to the formulas they use
[12:51] <ingenio> if you want a piece of paper that says you learned it.. then go to class ha
[12:51] <MerlWrK> that's how I did physics
[12:51] <thean> incorrect.
[12:51] <MerlWrK> memorized *.formula and did the questions
[12:51] <thean> You get a good prof who knows his shit
[12:51] <advy> yeap
[12:51] <MerlWrK> don't know wtf it was I learned
[12:51] <thean> you'll learn much more, much faster then on your own
[12:51] <advy> yeap
[12:51] <ingenio> good professors don't teach undergrads
[12:51] <thean> yes, they do
[12:51] <thean> depends on the school, and the course
[12:51] <ingenio> they might lecture, but they're about as "there" as most of the students ar
[12:52] <ingenio> they're forced to lecture to receive research funds
[12:52] <thean> well, I've had some very engaged profs, who had phd's for a reason
[12:52] <thean> some profs are like that yes
[12:52] <advy> so much of the later level calculus physics was so hard to figure out 'why', i
[12:52] <thean> but you cant say they all are
[12:52] <ingenio> the point is that, even assuming your professor is both brilliant and engag
[12:53] <thean> not really
[12:53] <thean> those who dont do the work
[12:53] <thean> dont get A's
[12:53] <ingenio> er
[12:53] <thean> some of these guys cater to the a students
[12:53] <thean> who are trying
[12:53] <thean> they skim the basics, assuming the students have done the assigned reading an
[12:53] <thean> those are the best profs
[12:53] <ingenio> i don't think you understood what i said
[12:53] <thean> yes I did
[12:53] <thean> I dont think you understood my response
[12:54] <thean> you are clearly a C- student
[12:54] <ingenio> um
[12:54] <advy> i think your both c- students
[12:55] <advy> i didn't even go to class
[12:55] <advy> :P
[12:55] <thean> <- 4.0
[12:55] <advy> how old ar eyou
[12:55] <ingenio> i'm actually a few years past college
[12:55] <ingenio> and i'm interviewing people right now for _my_ company
[12:55] <ingenio> and if you came in bragging about your 4.0
[12:55] <MerlWrK> I think I graduated with a ~3.4
[12:55] <ingenio> i'd laugh you out of my office
[12:55] <advy> unless you had big tits
[12:55] <ingenio> undergrad grades mean about as much as your elementary school grades
[12:56] <advy> well, not if they have a 2.1
[12:56] <advy> then you can assume their lazy
[12:56] <ingenio> advy: check. but you can't talk about that. unless you have a great insuran
[12:56] <ingenio> not necessaril
[12:56] <thean> [15:56] <ingenio> undergrad grades mean about as much as your elementar
[12:56] <thean> ??
[12:56] <thean> are you kidding
[12:56] <thean> wtf
[12:56] <thean> if you want to get into decent grad schools
[12:56] <thean> they are very important
[12:57] <thean> if you want a job on bay street
[12:57] <thean> same
[12:57] <ingenio> thean: ok ok -- to get into a grad school, important.
[12:57] <ingenio> to get a good job... not important.
[12:57] <thean> yes,yes it is.
[12:57] <thean> and if you actually want to learn and not waste your money, important.
[12:57] <ingenio> advy: 2.1 doesn't necessarily mean lazy. i consider it a "don't work hard,
[12:58] <ingenio> advy: i'd much rather have a technician with on the job training (during sc
[12:58] <thean> technicians are low level jobs
[12:58] <thean> so yes, i agree
[12:58] <ingenio> advy: and I'd much rather have a 2.1 with good social skills from long week
[12:58] <thean> college is sufficient
[12:59] <thean> you want someone representing you in court, operating on your heart, managing
[12:59] <thean> I think not
[12:59] <ingenio> thean: the best attorneys I knew barely made it through undergrad.
[12:59] <thean> then they would not get into law school.
[12:59] <thean> not in canada
[13:00] <ingenio> and operating on your heart, maybe. but i don't recall ever seeing my docto
[13:00] <ingenio> and more fortune 500 CEOs are college dropouts than college grads.
[13:01] <ingenio> basically: continue living in your fantasy world. the real world doesn't ca
[13:01] <thean> ok, first, Im also in the real world.
[13:01] <thean> and I bet I've had much more exposure than you
[13:02] <thean> and, in some cases you are correct, but that is not the norm.
[13:02] <thean> and those dropouts who become successful often go back
[13:02] <thean> to think there is nothing to be learned at university is quite ignorant.
[13:03] <thean> and to think there isnt a different between a 2.1 and 4.0 is equally ignorant
[13:03] <thean> and to think those things taught in university have no practicality in the "r
[13:03] <ingenio> i know some dropouts who've been back. and some who are proud of their deci
[13:03] <ingenio> and i don't think there is _NECESSARILY_ a difference between the GPAs. ie,
[13:04] <ingenio> and in general, yeah... i think many undergrad courses are impractical and
[13:04] <thean> listen, thats nice.
[13:04] <thean> lets agree to disagree.
[13:04] <thean> end of discussion.
[13:04] <ingenio> respectfully done.
[13:05] <MerlWrK> to some degree, I think you can measure someone's intelligence based on GPA
[13:05] <MerlWrK> and the converse is not necessarily true
[13:06] <ingenio> the problem with that is
[13:06] <MerlWrK> but does is a guy with a 3.0 smarter than one with a 2.9? impossible to sa
[13:06] <ingenio> there is a distinct correlation between intelligent people and those who ar
[13:07] <haker____> HI
[13:08] <MerlWrK> well, when you look at it from a "good worker" standpoint, the people who h
[13:08] <ingenio> for a managerial position requiring a 60 hr week and the intelligence to cr
[13:08] <ingenio> for a CEO, i prefer a 2.5 student.
[13:08] <MerlWrK> !topic [15:08] <ingenio> for a CEO, i prefer a 2.5 student.
[13:08] <ingenio> haha
[13:08] <MerlWrK> that is a very ignorant statement to be honest
[13:08] <ingenio> the sad thing is, evidently most s&p shareholders agree
[13:09] <MerlWrK> how are you measuring that?
[13:09] <ingenio> fortune publishes the educational background of CEOs
[13:09] <ingenio> but i digress
[13:09] <MerlWrK> dude, most s&p shareholders use automatic proxy voting tools anyway
[13:10] <MerlWrK> and it's all based on what their stock is going to do. often a judgement c
[13:10] <ingenio> there is a distinct correlation between intelligent people and those who ar
[13:10] <MerlWrK> I've never seen any documentation about that, but either way I think it's i
[13:10] <ingenio> and i'd guess that those who are apathetic towards traditional education ar
[13:11] <MerlWrK> I want someone who can be apathetic towards something and still get the job
[13:14] <ingenio> the other thing you rarely see is a cost-benefit analysis
[13:14] <ingenio> let's say for 0 hrs studying you average a 2.1, for 2 hrs studying a 3.0, f
[13:15] <ingenio> i would argue that, assuming that the time can be spent elsewhere furtherin
[13:15] <ingenio> anyway i've gotta run. later
[13:15] <MerlWrK> k
[13:15] <advy> depends
[13:15] <advy> you need a 4.0 to getinto med school here
[13:15] <advy> :P

[13:16] <MerlWrK> ok, thought so
[13:16] <scrim> especially when taken rectally
[13:33] <thean> hey jammer
