Laid off structured finance pros look for new work
Posted Aug 17th 2008 9:40AM by Zac Bissonnette

Bloomberg reports on the career struggles of former structured finance professionals who have now found themselves unceremoniously dumped on the street as the products they built wreak havoc on the global economy. According to Bloomberg, the investment world has shed 76,670 in the past year.

One former vice president in credit strategy at Bear Stearns is setting up her own company to provide birthday parties and cupcake cooking lessons for children. A Bank of New York asset backed securities trader has left the world of high finance to open a discount hair salon with his wife. Others are becoming teachers.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Can’t these washed up masters of the universe just collect unemployment and live off their investments, and leave the world alone? They’ve already crashed the housing market and led to hundreds of billions in write downs. Now they’re going to go mess with cupcakes? Is nothing sacred?

We can take some comfort in the fact that they’re taking a pay cut. Wall Street salaries averaged $399,360 in 2007. That’s a lot of cupcakes and $12 haircuts.

Local portrait artist Shannon Casey will do quick sketch charcoal portraits Aug. 23 from noon to 3 p.m. at Main Street Cupcakes, 238 N. Main St. Hudson, Ohio.

The charcoal sketches are done on toned paper and take about 30 minutes to complete. The drawings are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $35. Sittings are suitable for children of all ages, as well as adults. Casey, a Hudson resident, is a member of the Portrait Society of America as well as the Hudson Society of Artists, Akron Society of Artists and Peninsula Art Academy, where she has a studio.

Also, on display are oil “portraits” of cupcakes by Casey created with thick impasto paint to represent the frosting.

Cubs must widen lead before stretch run

“One of my favorite New York City mottoes is: Life is short, eat dessert first. New York City is famous for its cupcakes. With a friend of mine, I made a summer pilgrimage to find the best cupcake in New York City.

We went to Magnolia Bakery, Buttercup Bake Shop, Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery, and Crumbs Bakery. After a whole day of eating cupcakes, we decided that Magnolia’s icing was melt-in-your-mouth sweet, and Sugar Sweet Sunshine takes the cake on “best cupcake overall.”
