[quote=Anonymous]Our oldest graduated from college last year. He was a STEM major and had many opportunities come his way, but he has plenty of friends who majored in history, econ, English, sociology, etc. I'd say the non-STEM kids had to hustle more throughout college to pursue leadership positions in campus organizations, land internships and then find a post-grad job, but at this point, everybody he knows who wanted a job now has one (obviously some are in grad school, on fellowships or traveling before entering grad school). Jobs range from teaching (including many in Teach for American, NYC and NO teacher corps) to journalism to marketing in large and small businesses to not-for-profits in many fields to jobs on the Hill. And, yes, there are indeed non-STEM majors who landed more lucrative jobs with investments banks, consulting firms and even at Google. I can't think of a single one who is a barista. I will say, though, that the undergrad program these students went through emphasizes writing, even for STEM majors, and that the school has a very strong alum network. [/quote]
