20 Ideas The US Needs To Steal From The Rest Of The World

So now it's who gets hired by what jobs blah, zzzzzz......
Keep editing and revising your point. (You're on your 3rd if anyone wants to keep track)
What do you want me to dispute?

What the hell are you talking about? How have i changed my point once?
You started telling me what I thought, and what I meant, which is fucking hilarious.
I gave you evidence why I would know what I'm talking about. I'm not backtracking in any way

Not to defend him but I think I understood what he meant. That is he believes it would be easier to teach math and science majors business science than vice versa.
I think he is wrong as there are different skill sets needed to succeed in different endeavours.
As a matter of fact Id bet theater majors would do a helluva lot better in politics then mathematicians.

Obviously there are different skill sets required for different jobs. For some business jobs you need to have soft skills (which, I mean, you need in anything), negotiating skills, etc etc. You are both taking my statement and making it more than what I said.
STEM majors go through 4 years of high level math and science. They understand numbers. They have whatever quantitative skills, problem solving skills, etc you could need for a business major. Some companies choose to take these students, the ones that also have the interpersonal skills you may need, and mold them into the business world.
I have not yet seen a technical company looking business majors to fill technical roles...
Theater majors probably would do better in politics than math majors. Congrats. That really isn't at all what I'm talking about, but ok. (That opens up a whole other discussion about how I think we need more STEM majors in politics).
Investment banking, consulting, trading, etc. All of these are traditionally pulling from the business side but they recruit engineers and other STEM majors as well. Find an engineer with interpersonal skills and a willingness to learn, and you're golden. (The stereotype of engineers being awkward and unsocial, from my time at Michigan, isn't really that true. Those kids definitely still exist, but in some majors [like comp sci] much more than others).
So, again, from everything I have seen, read and been told, by knowledgeable people, it is easier (companies would rather) take STEM majors and teach them business skills than to take business majors and teach them "STEM" skills.
Are we good now? Geez...

Let's recap:
Woody: "it's easier to teach business to STEM majors than it is to teach math/quantitative skills to business majors"
legacy: "that's a ridiculous statement."
Woody: "Then/than grammar harrumph"
Legacy: "Math & quantatative skills are predominantly what business majors are taught"
Woody: "I graduated with an engineering degree and we are highly recruited by business firms all over. I should know- I just graduated and went to multiple company info sessions and a career fair that would make PT Barnum shit his pants"
Legacy: "I'm not talking about career fairs. why do you insist on changing the subject about which we are disagreeing on?"
Woody: "now you're telling me what I meant. I'm not back-tracking"
You might make the greatest politician in the history of ever. Honestly. I don't even know how to continue.

You seemed to have heavily edited your own responses in your summary....
... fuck it dude, I don't care. It doesn't affect me (probably), and it doesn't affect you. If you don't believe me, it couldn't matter any less. I'm telling you what I've seen, what I've read, what I've been told first hand by recruiters for these companies. If you chose to not believe me, then that is your choice.
Good day

You've missed the point entirely, kids meal.
You started off botching a statement. I merely suggested you clarify.
-
Go back and reread your post I first commented on. I copied it verbatim in my summary ( the rest of *both* of our posts got some artistic license)
I know what you were trying to say, but you didn't say it. So I commented.
-
You responded to one of my first posts with
"Business majors can't learn math/quantitative skills".
You put quotes around a comment to signify it was something I said, except I didn't say that at all. Then, you felt compelled to tell me what I actually meant... because apparently you knew better than I do.
Now, after already displaying the fact you didn't know what I said or what I was talking about, you're going to tell me to go back and reread my own posts? Haha. After already taking what my comments said, and saying they meant something else? Hahaha. Right, I'm totally the one that has missed the point entirely........
Now, for real this time. Good day.

**********************************************************
Woody, you are singling out one way of using quotation marks. There are direct and indirect
uses of quotation marks. As in, quoting exactly what you said, that's DIRECT quoting,
and then paraphrasing what you said, which is INDIRECT quoting. They are both valid.
Often, when someone paraphrases what you said, (indirect quoting), they are trying to explain what
they think you meant with the words you posted, even though you meant to say something different.
Not always someone else's fault.

I'm not an English major but did you really just write this sentence, read it, think "yeah that makes sense," and then post it??It is much easier to teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major math/quantitative skills/etc)
Holy fuck.
Nope. Here is my first response, kids meal:
You still think its easier to "teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major math/quantitative skills/etc"? Business majors do nothing but "math/ quantatative skills"MLD Woody said

Holy fuck.
*That's* what I was contesting. How are you not understanding this?
Had you said "easier to teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major *STEM*" this wouldn't have been an issue.
But thank you for shedding light on the importance reading comprehension ought to still play in higher education.
-
So yes. I did know what you were trying to say, but you didn't/ couldn't. I'm right, you're wrong. Again.

Does woody ever stand behind anything he says?
It always seem misconstrued from his end and he never means what he really meant. That is of course if he stands behind anything at all. I rarely see text of how he feels about certain issues.
Other than religion sucks.
Gays are awesome.
And global warming.
Does that pretty much sum up woody?

You give him too much credit....

Hates Ohio State and thinks only arithmetic should be taught in schools.

They are good...if you cant keep them under control. I noticed you can't seem to.

when emotions dominate a person... and take the place of rational, logical appraisement of
reality, and is the sole mode of problem solving, it is a clear indication
that it is the innate psychological defense mechanism...
of hard core liberals.

But remember, fear is not an emotion....

I might be of some help on the matter of business/science majors learning new skills, having first done a mathematics course and then a finance masters. We had people from all backgrounds in the finance course, from chemical engineers to econ/MBAs, and as a trend (though not exclusively) the people from scientific backgrounds did better. It *is* a lot easier for someone from a STEM background to learn about debt/equity ratio, portfolio management and corporate finance than it is for someone from a pure business background to learn stochastic calculus and financial statistics.
Maybe I've slightly misinterpreted the argument here and if so I apologise, but there's my two penneth.
