As an economics undergraduate, I also worked on a part-time basis in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a company that was advising customers about portfolio decisions, writing reports.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I delivered lectures, and I was also a consultant for international companies in finance, both private equity and big venture capital funds.
However, I should perhaps add that during the 20 years I have been back in Cambridge, I have been actively involved in the teaching of undergraduates, as well as of course supervising research students.
I was a great student at a great school, Wharton School of Finance.
I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense.
I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
Then I started graduate school at UCLA. I got a part time research assistant job as a programmer on a project involving the use of one computer to measure the performance of another computer.
While in high school, I worked part time at Subway, then at the front desk of the local YMCA, then at a tennis club, until I landed an unpaid internship at 'The Mountain View Voice,' my hometown newspaper.
And at a relatively early age, ten or so, I invested my first share of stock. And I used to follow, look at companies and so forth. But throughout the whole period, and indeed right through my college years, while I was involved in the stock market, always interested in finance, I never thought of it as a full-time job.
I was a professor at Princeton University. And, in that capacity, I studied for many years the role of financial crisis in the economy.
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
