[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because top paying employers only want to recruit from those schools. If you can get them to change their mindset, that would go a long way.[/quote]

These jobs often go to connected, rich kids. Yes, it does give you a chance if that's not you, but that's a tiny percentage of a tiny population within a specific school.[/quote]

This isn’t true at all.  The %age of kids getting hired by GS or Citadel that are “connected” is tiny.  [/quote]

The desire to work at those places is also diminishing.  [/quote]

Again…not true at all.

About Citadel: The New York Times reported in 2010 that "the firm is unique in its reputation for being a revolving door", meaning that it had a high turnover rate[/quote]

That’s 14 years old.  Also, hedge funds make lots of people rich (so they leave on their own) and are not touchy feely places to work.  They fire lots of people that don’t perform.

That still doesn’t mean it isn’t highly sought by college grads.[/quote]
