[quote=Anonymous]A lot of the responses you got depend on where your son is going to school. Unfortunately, Wall Street and McKinsey/Bain are pretty elitist in their orientation. When PPs write about the usual routes into those firms, it may be well trod in the most selective colleges, but much less common at other schools. In the top tier schools, piling on multiple majors and multiple terminal degrees can be taken as a negative. There is a bias toward going deeper in a single field rather than meeting the minimum requirements in multiple fields. At other schools the piling on may be what you need to stand out from the rest of the class. As lots of PPs note, the best way to sort this out is for your son to try to get one of these jobs. Studying is not nearly the same as working. The kinds of summer internships he gets will be highly instructive of his options. It may also give him a better idea of what kind of job he wants to do.[/quote]
