<p>Or something like that.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>The <a title="International Herald Tribune" href="https://www.iht.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">International Herald Tribune</a> ran an article yesterday about the <a title="IHT" href="https://www.iht.com/articles/2008/10/14/business/redfin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">increase in the numbers of applications to business schools</a> this year.  Business schools are a counter-cyclical business:  they tend to do well when the economy stinks.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>What are students not as interested in studying?  Finance.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Where are they less likely to aspire to work?  Wall Street.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>What are they more interested in studying:  management in solid industrial sectors.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Where are they more likely to aspire to work?  Singapore and Dubai.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
