[quote=Anonymous] 1. Not all success is measured in money, OP. My husband does cancer research at NIH and uses his MD, PhD plus stats and informatics degrees to provide total analytics. The pay is incredibly low for all that training, but I'm sure you understand that money is not what's most important here. It's the calling. It's the lives saved. 2. However I do agree with you that getting in a prestigious and selective graduate school is much harder coming out of a no-name undergrad! And I also agree that some grad school degrees are very hard to translate into ANY career, not just underpaid ones! My son loves history, and history will be part of his undergrad major, but he is well aware that unless he wants to live in a small way on his inheritance, a more practical post-college degree will open way more doors for him.
