Summary
A recurring concern for my first-year undergraduate students contemplating a career in finance is that they will turn into hypocrites: spend several years in college being exhorted to act in the service of humanity, perhaps studying great thinkers, absorbing humanistic values, and devising solutions for a better society, and, as soon as they leave their idealized intellectual community, become cogs in a gigantic machine optimized to generate short-term profits.
