Business school deans say some students who consider themselves "highly ethical" are avoiding careers in finance because they consider the field beneath their standards.

Hasn't this always been the case? You go in to it for the money, for the thrill, because that's what you're in to. Or you go in to it for any number of reasons. Maybe you consider yourself highly ethical and go in to finance because you think you can make a difference.

Christine Lagarde ... said ... one of her sons had told her he might not talk to her if she were to work for a large investment bank.

Right. And one of her daughters told her she wouldn't speak to her if she bought that dress. So what?

View on HN

I'm reminded of a post I recently saw on HN, "Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum" - http://pastebin.com/irj4Fyd5 coincidentally HN has its share of these disinformationalist.

Christine Lagarde gives me the creeps. Back when MH17 was still fresh I was trying to discern for myself what transpired, anyway didn't find out much just ended up reading some pretty out there shit. Here's a note I made on it at the time "So, I was reading a bit about the MH17 incident and stumbled upon this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/…/From-CIA-assassination-cock-ne… Basically an article outlining some of the wild theories being circulated on the internet in regard to the incident...but then I got to the part about Christine Lagarde Managing Director, IMF and I figured I might as well check out this speech and see what exactly these "cryptic uses of the number 7" were that these people seemed to believe were present in her speech. So that brought me to this video, an unedited, unabridged, video of her speech, given on January 15, 2014(this date becomes important): https://youtu.be/LJ3oZN_dzZI -just so there is no question as to when this speech was delivered here is a link to the IMF site with a transcript of the speech "As prepared for delivery": http://www.imf.org/external/np/speeches/2014/011514.htm

WTF is she saying?

All the conspiracy theory stuff aside, there are several references to the G7 in this video. The G7 was officially still the G8 at the time of this speech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G8- "(Russia)-was excluded from the forum by the other members on March 24, 2014" and the Crimea incident didn't begin until February 23, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Crimea_crisis#Timeline"

That was an impossibly fast downvote lol

Probably another conspiracy!

My comment made no claim of conspiracy, the original dailymail article did. I simply stated the G7 was still the G8 and if anybody else were to give that speech with 7 this and 7 that, 7-7-7, they'd be in a padded room haha.
