What if she wants to go to med school? Huge disappointment?

Nope.  Goldman is 10/10.  Merill is 9.9/10.  Medical school is 9.7/10  :hug:

It is different when teenagers are concern but I try to not let my kids get away with lieing.

I think I'd just spend my days sobbing that I'd managed to raise such a stupid kid.

Everyone raises stupid kids, cause kids are stupid.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

So, you'd just do what your mom did?  I didn't think you were such a traditionalist.

Depends on her age.  Given that she was old enough to rent a hotel room, I am guessing she is around 16... in which case a Draconian punishment would likely be counter productive.  So I guess I would use it as an opportunity to talk about safety and perhaps values.

Yep.

Merrill Lynch isn't an investment bank (at least that isn't what it traditionally does--maybe it has picked up some services). I don't think there is anything special about working there.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Ok, I've just learned a couple things. One, Merrill Lynch now belongs to Bank of America. Two, "wealth management" and "investment banking" are not the same thing.  :hmm:

Ok, this line is really weird then:
QuoteThis article is about Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, the wealth management division of Bank of America, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. as an independent company prior to its January 2009 acquisition by Bank of America. For the corporate and investment banking division of Bank of America, see Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Wealth management is about helping people invest.  Investment making is about helping people, or corporations (or whatever), raise capital by getting others to invest in the principals, managing mergers and acquisitions, and that sort of thing.  They are kind of the opposite (IB raising money, WM investing it).

Merrill Lynch made its name as a brokerage firm, specifically retail brokerage.  Basically advising doctors and other UMC professionals about what stocks to buy.  They had a huge network of brokers, the "thundering herd.". Over time, they got into the investment banking business and by the late 90s they were one of the biggest underwriters of debt and equity deals.  But they got killed in the sub-prime blow up and BOA picked up the pieces, apparently with the aim of scooping up the retail relationships. 
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
