Margin Call - Discussion on Draft and Background

Sarah Robertson: But is this your draft?
Peter Sullivan: Yes. Again, expanded on the original work by Mr. Dale. But, yes.
Sarah Robertson: What's your background?
Peter Sullivan: My background?
Sarah Robertson: Your CV.
Peter Sullivan: I've been with the firm for two and a half years, working with Eric that whole time. But I hold a doctorate in engineering, specialty in propulsion, from MIT, with a bachelor's from Penn.
Jared Cohen: What is a specialty in propulsion, exactly?
Peter Sullivan: My thesis was studying the ways that friction ratios affect steering outcomes in aeronautical use under reduced gravity loads.
Jared Cohen: So, you're a rocket scientist?
Peter Sullivan: I was. Yeah.
Jared Cohen: Interesting. How did you end up here?
Peter Sullivan: Well, it's all just numbers, really. Just changing what you're adding up, and, to speak freely, the money here is considerably more attractive.
