Hearing it is rough out there. |

| You may get more responses without asking for college. Following though! My son is going into second year of college. Hopefully market improves in a few years time. I’ve heard it’s tough for CS and some financial fields. |

How does art history lead to investment banking? This is not a snark comment. I'm genuinely curious as that would not be my expectation (though I know little about either as a career and college major). |

No it's a great question and strange move. He got into art consulting and leveraged the position to get into an investment banking internship. He definitely wants to go back into the art history sphere, likely philanthropy if he can snag it. |

Tesla is a great resume builder. I am sure it will work out in the end. Good luck! |

I’ve seen this play out so many times this year. With random weird majors like sociology and English and history those kids are getting the jobs (from good schools albeit). |

Perhaps the kid is just a good writer and critical thinker and it came out in networking? That school also places well on Wall Street so it could be that. Not much competition given the school is so small. Liberal arts colleges do extremely well for placement on Wall Street. much less internal competition. |

Search for an old post on here about anthropology at Dartmouth as a very popular “gateway” major to investment banking and Wall Street. |
