thedailyfeed: Meet the 23-year-old Carty twins. Jill (left) graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with dual degrees in international studies and business, and now works as a consultant at a major financial services firm. She’s well on her way into the “1 percent.” Nicole has a sociology degree from Brown and spends her days on the front lines of Occupy Wall Street. “It’s misplaced passion,” said Jill of her sister’s devotion to the struggle. “She could be even more powerful if she worked in economics, using the tools of Wall Street to fight back.” The twins’ mother, Rhoda Carty, 58, also wanted Nicole to use her Ivy League education as a springboard into a more financially rewarding profession. “If it were up to me, I would have liked her to study economics,” said Rhoda Carty by phone from her home in Atlanta, where she raised her girls after immigrating from the Caribbean. “But my father was something of a revolutionary on Anguilla, and I think it may be in Nicole’s DNA,” she said. “She has her mother’s full support. I do feel that it’s time for a paradigm shift.”
