Alternatives to naked capitalism
I walked away from the university careers counselling service because their idea of ‘alternative careers’ was teaching. Even journalism was too imaginative a career – or possibly those alumni of that particular university didn’t need to rely on formal processes to get a job at Daddy’s newspaper.
The fund management community, in contrast, is more imaginative. It harbours a number of people with surprising alternative careers in their past or even in parallel to their current jobs.
