As a Wharton student, I feel that contrary to what the professor says, top business school students (Wharton students) are still interested in creating another paper monster, because historically finance offered a much greater salary for the individual.
Operations, marketing, and the other essentials have a much lower salary and potential to growth. I feel that the traditional product-making firms should offer more "fast-track" positions to attract top students to create real products.
I feel that in our global society today, people are more interested in me than we.
