Completely wrong. Bowdoin, Williams, And Amherst do a lot better than Holy cross and babson is a joke for if you actually want a successful Wall Street career.

I don’t get why people try comparing specialty colleges (babson, Claremont McKenna, etc.) with full service LACs. I don’t particularly care if babson grads do well when most do the same exact career. The important stat is do you make more as an X major at institution a or b, not that institution b has 90% Econ majors.

Read the comment before yours. Most colleges have more than 1 major with concentrations.

Babson isn’t in the top 50 in earnings when you isolate for Econ majors: https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/best-colleges-for-economics/

+1. This poor reasoning comes up all the time on dcum. The top 3 colleges for ROI? Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, St. Louis College of Pharmacy, and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Does that mean you shouldn’t send your kid to Stanford or Amherst, because someone at Albany is going to potentially make more than them- no! That’s a stupid idea.

Our next generation of business leaders will come from liberal arts colleges.
This year early results are disappointing. Top kids didn't get into ivy and ivy plus, many deferred. Many will apply RD and one of the 13s will welcome them there. Lucky ones may get accepted into SWAP or Bowdoin or Wellesley. In the long run, it's these kids who will lead the world.

Doubt Wellesley or Bowdoin or any other NESCAC can match that success.

You don’t think Wellesley has better alum than the CEO of a budget airline?

It doesn't appear as if you know much about business.

JetBlue is a low cost carrier. PP is correct in describing it a budget airline.

That wasn't PP's point. Yes, it's a budget airline. The point is that being CEO of JetBlue is a big deal--doesn't matter that it's a budget airline. You're still CEO of a publicly traded company.

Thank you for explaining the point. The sense is similar, although less historic, to Henry Ford having run a discount motor vehicle company.

If Stanford placed first and Babson second, wouldn't we infer that Babson placed ahead of these other schools?

Which would matter if they didnt finish their comment with an absolute lie. Bowdoin has a lot more high profile ceos than Holy cross alum. Makes sense- Bowdoin is a better school.

You have conflated separate posters.

If you look at the top 100 publicly traded companies there are a lot more Holy Cross grads than Bowdoin or Williams. On Wall Street Williams dominates HC. Probably explained by Holy Cross one of few top 25 LACs with an Accounting major-they count a lot of Corporate CFOs. Prep school kids that graduate from Williams prefer the limelight of P/E and VC.

This analysis of Wall Street and IB feeder schools placed Babson ahead of Bowdoin:

Nonetheless, Bowdoin did do well in having made the list.

I find these conversations so boring. Look into other industries and holy cross pails in comparison to Williams or Bowdoin. It’s so strange seeing people avoid the obvious.

Isn’t babson a business school? I’m not sure these stats mean anything.
