When you get on board an airplane, do you hope it was designed by people with higher educations who used math? Or do want to fly in one that was designed by some guy who just made something that "looked right" to him? Well - I've been reading Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis. The author seemed to feel that part of the downfall of Salomon Brothers (the firm he briefly worked for) was that they were enamored with finding new employees who were graduates of the most prestigious schools, and that they forgot that their success was built upon employees who never went to college. Well - that and that perhaps it was a matter of being at the right place at the right time. Yeah, well they don't do engineering, do they?
