Amusing Forum Biases

This forum has had its share of random ass opinions, ones I've noticed are that

  1. folks get wet about top boutiques
  2. everybody shows a lot of love to engineers and military folks (I'm on board here)
  3. going to UBS/Piper/BO/MO is a deathwish.

Any others I missed?

Ok, let me rephrase this!

I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering at a top-tier Canadian University. Been applying to many banks/boutiques for trading since January... no offers, nada... I'm certainly not feeling the love haha!!

What do finance people like about engineers?

That you'll bend over and do the work that you're told to.
