Sure. Did you obtain your imaginary doctorate before or after your time as a young wall street hotshot that you previously claimed to be? Any chance you're also a conservative black female Baylor grad with some puppies too?
I never claimed to be a wall street "hotshot." I did however, work on wall street for one year after finishing my PhD. It's actually a pretty common career path for physics PhD's, I just didn't like the work.
I'm not catching the "Sean" reference, although I do remember the chocolate labs. I worked for Merrill Lynch. I'm impressed by your memory because I only remember mentioning that job once or twice in passing in threads about the mortgage market (that was the market I worked in). Since you have search capabilities, you can also go back to my posts prior to 2011 and you'll likely see references to my life as an astrophysicist.
Darwin also believed that black people were less "evolved" than white people and thus closer to apes.
Yup, and that was proven to be false, whilst evolution was proven to be true. Hooray for the rigourous testing that makes a hypothesis a Theory.
There is no scoreboard in evolution other than the survival and reproduction of the species. The only "more evolved" is better at reproducing. If we want a "more evolved" civilization then we better not exterminate ourselves with war or the degradation of our environment. I doubt in the end we can say we were "more evolved" than cockroaches. That actually, We Are Devo.
You didn't even have to go that far in the bible. The first claim in that book states (first sentence)...."In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". Scientists have proven that earth formed approximately around 9 billion years after the big bang; so that could not have been the beginning
For what it's worth, here is a blurb from the Cornell web site: "Finance - many Cornell physics graduates work on Wall Street" https://phystec.physics.cornell.edu/content/what-can-i-do-physics-degree Other info: "Perhaps surprisingly, of the other half, around one-fifth will soon be starting work in the financial sector. According to a report published last year by the Institute of Physics, of those in employment one year after graduation, a job in "finance" was second only in popularity to a job in "education".

I can see how this can be common. Astrophysicists deals with a lot of quantitative analysis which currently has a high demand in wall street.
Yes, it is common because physics students are usually good in analysis and math, they are usually much better than the finance students in that regard. Physics and Engineering students can change the career to many other fields, but it would be had for people who are in other areas to change to physics and engineering.
