And I agree, a sociology degree is perhaps more valuable in building wealth than a finance degree. Most people don't understand the interplay of international finance, public policy and economic activity and how this interplay moves stock markets. This is what makes Parliament members, Prime Ministers, Presidents, and Senators some of the best portfolio managers in the world. They receive information everyday about how this interplay is likely to unfold and use it to their advantage in the stock markets.
Cheers,

When you study international development case models, you can see quite clearly the interplay of international finance, public policy and economic activity. All in a day's work when you study macrosociology, political economy and economic geography for your core classes. Though I'd agree, a lot of educational institutions are about having the right answer instead of a new or creative answer. I think that's one of the reasons I passed on Penn/Wharton. I didn't want to end up being just another accountant.You should have been a sociology major at Penn.
