This deficiency could quickly become an impediment to China’s predicted economic explosion.

To be fair, certainly some of us do come from backgrounds where we need the Goldman Sachs job to pay off loans or to support our families. Maybe a few of us actually do need the McKinsey business experience in order to start that nonprofit that will save the world. But most who take such paths don’t have these excuses. Many of the future I-bankers assure us that they will head to public interest work after a couple years instead of to Bentleys...
