[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College doesn't make or break anyone.[/quote] For most people the die is cast by high school. I was poor growing up went to ivy and ended up in same kind of job as my peers. Partly b/c of risk tolerance and lack of connections, but also just ignorance of how much early choices matter (right internship rather than spending summer painting with my hometown crew). [/quote] Thank you for this perspective. I really didn't know about the importance of internships at my Ivy either. Plus the administration kept pushing "follow your passions," "take obscure courses outside of your major," etc. and I had absolutely no idea what the average GPA was in my class.[/quote] Happened to me too. I despise the “follow your passion” BS. How about telling people to think about what kind of overall work environment they want to be in in their life, and how does it intersect with what skills and interests they have. [/quote]
