“ Barrs father enlisted a dropout epstein to teach at a private school”

To teach advanced math. No degree. Quit to be a coffee boy at Bear Stearns. Partner in two years.

Epstein was a mathematical savant, which is how he came to the attention of Wexler who, among other things, owned Victoria’s Secret. It was Wexler who gave Epstein a personal referral to Bear-Stearns, where it took Epstein 4 years to become a “limited partner.”

There are “idiot-savants” in many fields, including mathematics and engineering, both of which Epstein excelled in. If you can do math and engineering at those levels, many places will waive the degree requirement.

Is there any hope for those who can’t do math, but are also idiots about everything else?
