[OT] WSJ: “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”

[briansd1]

I guess the C students can flock to the creativity of Hollywood and make their fortune there.

My SIL’s brother is a C student and a struggling artist there. I hope he eventually gets discovered. Too bad we never hear about those creative folks who never make it.

IMHO, if anything at all, an A education is a great insurance policy against living down-and-out.

Tiger Mom’s regime won’t get her kids very far in Hollywood

In Hollywood, whether you were a C student or Summa Cum Laude, it’s a level playing field. “When you’re working on a movie set, you’ve got 50 film professors to learn from, from the sound man to the cinematographer,” says producer David Permut, who dropped out of UCLA to work for Roger Corman. “I’ve never needed a resume in my whole career. All you need is a 110-page script that someone is dying to make and you’re in business.”

The author of this piece about Hollywood forgot to mention that connections, and sleeping with the right people, go a long way in Hollywood.

Bump from a few months back………

Looks like tiger mom’s daughter got into Harvard…

After that, probably she’ll probably major that leads to investment banking or management consulting at McKinsey, and then get in internship at Goldman, and eventually be an MD at such firm…

All she has to do is answer those brain teaser questions that McKinsey loves to throw at prospects… My favorite were those “estimation questions”…. I.E. estimate the number of dentists there are in iceland and rationalize your estimate.

Arise workerbees…A new aristocrat in the making is born….Meanwhile the rest of us peasants can continue to bitch about how unfair life is…

like I said…Put up or shut up….

If I recall, Amy Chua (the mother) was a McKinsey consultant working on the Mexico financial bailout.

The Rubenfeld daughters were raised Jewish. It looks like they will become slim, long haired, beauties. I don’t doubt that they will marry very well, maybe into billionaire banking families.
