the launching point is sooo much higher from a T20
doesn’t mean that’s how it will end up - but it’s a better starting point 💯 |
Kids starting companies are already connected and have money. |
"the jobs kids want" -- which kids? |
More people have opposite anecdotes. |
Agree 100%. I want my kids to have an impact on the world/others. And not an impact like the big corporations. To each his own, I guess. |
So, what job is acceptable for your kid? Sounds like the entire private sector doesn’t qualify. |
+1. LOL. This. |
DP here. Not the ones that I know! You sound very naive. |
Agree. Multiple startups i am personally aware of were by non-connected kids who got the tools and peers from their top schools |
A nonprofit. Their work is very important! |
Plenty of evil non-profits. How about all the hospital systems that bankrupt poor patients that can’t pay and pay their CEOs tens of millions. Perhaps let your kid pursue what they want in life and not your version. |
Quality of the peer group is indeed an important factor. However many selective T50ish schools have close to that level of quality student bodies. Also the connection thing is not a reliable factor at all for common students. It's a matter of luck. Major is more important than the school name these days. |
This. |
Big corporations literally impact the world you rube. That's the reason they exist. My God you people are dumb. |
T50 schools on average have less than 25% of students from the 98-99th%ile. T10-15 have over 75%. Classes can be run at a faster pace, more indepth discussion, just not the same at all. Any major from a top school can land a great job: MBB, Jane Street, Goldman hire English and other non-Econ, non-tech majors from T10s, and from the median "average" group of grads, not just the top sector of students. English majors go to Big3 LAW schools and top med schools from T10s. 99% of MBB new hires come from 20 schools. Anything is possible from a top school. |
