A ballerina yesterday. An engineer today. Lets get them ready for tomorrow, one ad read.
The ads were intended to celebrate the aspirations of young people, but fell short of the goal, the company said in an apology on its Twitter account.
An actor yesterday. A botanist today. Lets get them ready for tomorrow, another ad read.
The bank, which is based in San Francisco and has its largest employment hub in Charlotte, tweeted out an apology Saturday.
The bank said it gave $93 million last year in support of the arts, culture and education.

But I know a lot of women who are very competent in math, etc. But they don't want to be engineers. They prefer the Arts. But if your heart is really not into it, why go into a profession where you dread Mondays, or even just getting up in the morning?
One of the girls on our high school FIRST Robotics team became a mechanical engineer. Her Dad was another team mentor and a nuclear engineer. She got a full 4-year scholarship and graduated Summa Cum Laude. Very attractive gal but not a natural engineer type. But she will end up as a VP for Dominion Power some day. She and my son were co-founder students on the team.
LMAO. Yeah, the irony is thick.
I know a 16 year old ballerina who is a 3rd year college engineering major. :)
I didn't learn how to dance on my tiptoes until I was a technical sales engineer at twice that age.
Her mom is a doctor and her dad a Math PhD. She’s a talented and pretty girl with a brain and comes from a good family. God help the boys her age!
” But if your heart is really not into it, why go into a profession where you dread Mondays, or even just getting up in the morning?”
For money. That’s why they call it “work,” not “play.”
Awesome!
Dang, where were the girls when I was stuck at MTU...?
An actor yesterday. A waiter today. Lets get them ready for tomorrow, another ad read
Why are they apologizing? Did they give more money to engineering and science?
How do they compare to mid term examinations for physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, calculus, and differential equations?
That’s ridiculous. The two aren’t comparable. One is an art the others are sciences and maths. Ballet is one of the most disciplined, difficult arts in the entire world with standards that, unlike some other arts, have not fallen for 200 years. There’s a reason you haven’t seen a ballet star sign a BLM petition. They have no time to concentrate on crap.
