Extremely extremely slow right now |
Nephew has a BS in biochemical engineering. No job for a year in his field. Most of his friends are working in doctor’s offices as medical receptionists for almost minimum
Wage. |
Mid-sized consulting firm. Top school. |
Chicago doesn't have enough industry to support Wisconsin/Chicago/Northwestern/Illinois all at once. NYC could, but Chicago as a city has declined tremendously in international prominence. |
nice - congratulations |
Job market is pretty bad right now for many different fields. Tech and management consulting have both tanked |
+ U. Iowa, Marquette, Depaul, Loyola, Michigan def sends a lot to Chicago, Indiana as well. In that scrum, Wisconsin really isn't an 'edge' in terms of brand in Chicago. Wisconsin really is skating on its prior -- and well earned -- heritage/reputation from the "Wisconsin idea". unfortunately the economic gravity of the US has totally shifted. |
just spoke to my kid who’s about to graduate from what’s considered on this forum as a T10 LAC. He’s got something good lined up, but says there are two camps - those who went to boarding school, who all have jobs, and those who didn’t, where there’s much less success. Read into that what you will.. btw, he’s a public school kid |
Middlebury ? |
My niece will graduate from Cornell with a MS degree in biomedical engineering and she is still looking for a job. It is brutal at the moment. |
There are very good programmers working in game design but they are poorly paid and subjected to the layoff cycles of the industry. Anyone with skill who's in it for the money, knows to look elsewhere. |
the question this raises is maybe it’s better to spend the big bucks on boarding school - as those alumni REALLY will help kids who reach out - as opposed to even the best of the best with regards to alumni loyalty - Williams or Lehigh - where it’s pot luck whether or not you’ll get help. Send ur kid to Deerfield or Andover and then UMD lol |
Sucks to be from a state school right about now, since you asked. |
and Notre Dame. |
Learned that in pre-school. |
