The below cartoon meme could easily represent the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Throughout my career, I was required to work with many actuaries and investment professionals who were considered math geniuses, some with MIT degrees. There is a huge difference between being book smart and the ability to excel at taking difficult exams, and having street smarts and common sense. We always joked that the so called genius actuaries wore loafers because they couldn’t figure out how to tie their shoes. Full disclosure, I have both an undergraduate and masters degree from the University of Massachusetts, which was rather accurately nicknamed Zoo Mass back in those days.
