In all seriousness, I have a business school friend who has lamented for years that most students aspire to work with securities rather than participating directly in running a business.

horse-breeding businesses and golf courses are among those receiving European Union farm subsidies after changes that were meant to modernize the bloc's agricultural support policy. The unintended consequences of reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy are highlighted in an official audit of the EU's €106.6 billion, or $155.6 billion, budget for 2006, published Tuesday. Auditors noted a big jump in the number beneficiaries to whom direct aid is paid. For Germany the figures increased to 386,237 in 2005 from 330,640 claimants in 2004; for England the rise was to 116,500 from 70,031. "The Court has also noted among them railway companies (England), horse riding/breeding clubs (Germany and Sweden) and golf/leisure clubs and city councils (Denmark and England)," the document said. Britain was criticized for paying aid to landlords "not engaged in farming who let out their land for most of the year." In Northern Ireland more than 176,000 such payments, worth €13.8 million, were made, according to the report. farmsubsidy.org
