Yesterday was our last section party - it felt like home!
Interesting conversations as usual...
Heard at the party and faithfully reported
"- well, if you sign up with McK Mediterranean region, you could consider working for the Tel Aviv office. We'd be together, would be nice" - Israeli student
"- you're kidding!?!?!? you pay 60% taxes in Israel! This means that I'd be giving away 60% of my salary to pay for YOUR army!" - Egyptian student
"- I am afraid that the top 8 Chinese rulers might be willing to sacrifice the well-being of the country's population to maintain stability in the government. Hong Kong people just want to keep making tons of money, they are not thinking about overthrowing government. The Chinese government is facing a dilemna: educating people to ensure economic growth and to maintain stability throughout the country and maintaining people in ignorance so they keep the communist ideology and are not thinking about a revolution" -Hong Kong student
"- in Turkey, our school system is meant to be fair and open to all but really only the rich have access to superior resources, private tutoring and great support from their family. So on paper it looks perfect. In practice it is a natural filter for the money-loaded elite, not all the intellectuals" - Turkish student
"-this guy is too smart to be a CEO - in Portugal his GPA topped all of the GPAs of all the years at my top university. He is so smart that he'd be bored as a CEO, he wouldn't want to have to worry about talking to anyone about his great ideas, he wouldn't want to have to deal with all this crap that would land on his desk every day. He is meant to be a scientist, an economist...or a partner in a leading consulting firm" - Portuguese student
