Forbes – Just two days after the 20 brainy Harvard students were named Junior Phi Beta Kappas, the highest academic honor they can achieve– and a year before they are to graduate– the biggest hedge funds in Boston wrote them all letters trying to hire them.
Such is the ravenous hunger of the funds that dominate the stock market to solicit the brainiest kids before they can go onto become microbiologists, professors of medicine, musicians Rhodes Scholars, or neuro-scientists. In a way it is a sign of Big Money acting as if it is the survival of the fittest will win the competition to be in the top 1%. I have never witnessed the finding that the smartest become the richest.
