...book exists as a mere collection of the opening and closing monologues of "Seinfeld." On the other end of the disappointment spectrum, Whoopie Goldberg's much-anticipated Book flopped in the reviews and sales departments alike. Regurgitation of material, regardless of how funny it was the first time everyone heard it, makes for a repetitious read and a disgruntled customer. Stewart's off-the-wall and out-of-his-mind stories, whether they make you giggle or glare, must be applauded for their uncontested originality.

But that wasn't quite right, either. The next place to look was Dunster Street. I had heard miracles of philosophy majors working in financial services, having outstanding learning experiences, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I figured the Harvard path to least resistance couldn't be bad.
