William Deresiewicz Quotes

You're Told That You're Supposed To Go To College, But You're Also Told That You Are Being Self-indulgent If You Actually Want To Get An Education. As Opposed To What? Going Into Consulting Isn't Self-indulgent? Going Into Finance Isn't Self-indulgent? Going Into Law, Like Most Of The People Who Do, In Order To Make Yourself Rich, Isn't Self-indulgent? It's Not Okay To Study History, Because What Good Does That Really Do Anyone, But It Is Okay To Work For A Hedge Fund. It's Selfish To Pursue Your Passion, Unless It's Also Going To Make You A Lot Of Money, In Which Case It Isn't Selfish At All.
