There was an article maybe a decade ago in the Economist (I've never been able to find it since) claiming that being the hot industry for new Harvard Business School grads to join was, based on past performance, a solid countercyclical indicator: the MBAs started to join just as the industry had already peaked and trouble was on the horizon. IIRC it ended by observing that now (ie. then) they had started to go to Wall Street. I don't know if that's still true, or was actually ever true, let alone if anything similar is true of Harvard first-degree holders, but I thought I'd leave it here. ;)
