Prestige Trap
#distraction
More than half of Harvard graduates went to work as an investment banker or management consultant in 2007. Wasted potential. Intelligent and talented people are diverted from using their creative potential to have an impact on the world. Instead of entrepreneurial disruption, they’re diverted towards a role where they move money or resources around for others. A lucrative but unproductive way to shake something up in the world. Without a vision, it’s hard not to be minuscule in the desires you have. Imagine how much is lost every year by the potential that gets distracted from true disruption.
