13 companies grads want to work for

I graduated from B school in 86 and it amazes me that the list of companies is almost identical to the companies we were chasing back then.  Of course a couple didn't really exist back then but it's still interesting to see all the familiar names on the list..  I won't pass judgement on whether that list panned out for us but those companies must be doing something right if everyone wants to work there.

I just wish there weren't so many financial companies.  It is such a waste for our best and brightest to spend their careers pushing papers and producing nothing.   This is coming from an ex-finance guy. 

People gravitate to where the easy money are  to be made. Finance is such a place where executive bonuses are in the stratosphere. Obviously not all is paper pushing and unproductive work but a lot of it is. Even chief executives of non financial companies must have a firm basis in economics to be able to make the financial judgements in steering their companies to higher profits.

Welcome to Obamaville.

Amazing how many people are willing to join in on the despicable profession of finanace. These

a-holes continue stealing everybody elses money and getting away with it. Now our younger generation continues the tradition of theft and corruption. Many of these companies have been subject of senate inquirys, investigation for fraud or what have you and yet they are still in the top ten jobs sought after by all our new college grads. Just goes to show the moral degredation of our society as a whole. I wish many of these companies would burn to the ground and their executives would be eaten by sharks...but I dont think the sharks could handle the taste of that much $#!t.
