What a bizarre deduction. I'm passionate about food, I have no interest in starting my own restaurant.

It was a generalization based on my own observations, most banks lend to safe well-established models, university graduates tend to gravitate towards newer things.

That's your choice of course, but why do you think that is?

I don't think that's an accurate generalisation. For people who have STEM degrees, I'd agree, but there are a large proportion of people who followed other degrees (English majors, History majors, Philosophy majors, etc...) where I'd suggest that bias towards the new is not as prominent.
