track of every time you hear one of the following words: investment portfolio, private equity, hedge fund, stocks, bonds, State Street, Fidelity, Bain or Harvard Business School. Lost track after 10 minutes? Not surprised. “Did you know,” my friend who once worked in the development office told me, “that the number-one career for Nobles grads is in finance?” Ah, yes, I thought.

Me, on the other hand: “And what do you do?”
