In a moment of sheer brilliance / irrational exuberance (Google “Robert J. Shiller”), I ordered an official Georgia Tech vanity plate with the letters “QUANT” to mark my official start of classes within the Masters of Science Quantitative & Computational Finance (MS-QCF) program. This way, when I’m stuck in I-75 traffic moving at 5mph (late for class as usual), the people behind me will have something fun to uncharacteristically not understand.
