I think he just didnt explicitely define what he means by 'best' - by 'best' he means 'the course the graduates of which have the highest average starting salaries'. Thats a perfectly valid question. (Although I dont have the info to answer the question, my hypothesis is 'Accounting and Finance')

The reputation question is more subjective, and does not have a definite answer, since the criteria by which it can be determined are relative. However, my hypothesis is that the result based on a poll would be 'Economics', since the fact that it is the central subject of the institution, is implied in its name.

I would personally like to see all people who are at LSE only with the intention of working at an investment bank, etc., slapped with a trout. It makes everything so depressing.

seconded. I find the thought of higher education simply being a means to a shallow end to be quite sickening.

It's sad to see people dominated by the need to earn masses of ££ by a way of sacrificing their social lives :smile:

Ah well, people do what they want to do.

Skill = earning £800+/mo legally while being a student at LSE by spending less than 20 hours a month working.

Well first of all I'm a student in the Government department, I'd like to work in international development finance but you need 3-5 years of work experience before you can get into that field. So banking is it for now.

And the job I'll have is 50-60 hours a week, with no work on weekends. I'll still have a social life, trust me :wink:
