[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's no secret that the job market is rough for college grads in general, [b]but the market for grads of small liberal arts colleges seems almost nonexistent[/b]. Every grad I know is either eyeing grad school or working a low end job that does not require a college degree.

I'm afraid that these SLACS just aren't preparing students for the real world of the 21st century.  [/quote]

this is BS. My youngest sister is graduating from one of the AWS schools and has an amazing 6 figure job lined up in silicon valley (with a pretty shitty gpa I might add).

Her friends all have full time offers lined up as well. Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Google, Morgan Stanley, Bain, BCG, Fidelity. some technical, some econ, some English majors doing marketing stuff, etc.

Don't underestimate the tightness of the lac network. When my sister was a freshman, she cold called and emailed alums 10-15 years older than her at some very top places and landed interviews as a freshman! for meaning internships (i.e. not coffee making, filing).

the very top lac's have zero problems placing students in great jobs at great companies at very competitive pay levels.
