Because of this hegemony society has created where the smartest people go to Wall Street, it is believed we can trust these people with our money. In Ho’s writing, Princeton graduate Chris Logan points out that “the three qualities of success on Wall Street are to be smart, hardworking, and aggressive” (Ho 166) These are traits that put people 's money at risk. Quite simply, it is the investor 's job to make the most money out of their clients.

    I believe the best way to describe a typical TCNJ student is in one word - talented.
