Whom Goldman Sachs Has Been Hiring

I cannot verify it, but it seems that the investment banks are hiring a lot of math and IT people from other countries, more than those majoring in economics and business, including MBAs. [One possible explanation: they may have hired many other business majors, but theose people are Americans.] [Source: Wenxuecity.com and MyVisaJobs.Com]

高盛在2005年一共申请了477的h1b visa, 在所有的top h1b visa sponsors中排26位. 这477的申请分布如下, 注意, 数学专业125个, Business专业只有49个:

IT 175
Math 125
Economics 120
Business 49
Manager 7
Others 1

学好数理化, 走遍天下都不怕,直到今天,到了美国, 对个人还是颠簸不破的整理. 对企业, 用好数理化, 是在数字时代的竞争中立于不败之地的手段. 虽然, 我觉得这数理化的理化二字, 可以改成信统, 信息技术的信,统计的统, 包括了对信息的编程和统计分析. 这才是真正意义上的数字化生存. 数字化生存,就是数学的生存.过去这二十年, 数理化的基础研究专业在中国成了最被人看不起, 最没人上, 录取分数最底的专业, 大家都一窝风的去读财经MBA等热门专业, 会迟早让国家和个人付出代价.
