[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to grad school at Harvard and the undergrads were miserable.  So much anxiety and mental health issues and depressing winters.  I swore I wouldn’t let my kids do their undergrad there.  I would encourage him to listen to his gut on this.  [b] Grad school is where the prestigious degree matters. [/b] [/quote]

If you go to Harvard undergrad and want to go into finance or tech, there is no need to go to grad school.

All my friends from Harvard or Yale undergrad who went into finance: bulge bracket finance --> buy side funds or PE --> retired by early 40s. No need to waste the time or money on business school.

Same goes for those who enter tech from HYP. Why would you spend $200K on business school/grad degree and take yourself for two years out of the work force? It's nonsense.

If you're in consulting, there is more pressure to pause for a grad degree. But even then, if you're a rising star at McK or Bain, you can work your way up the ladder. Most of the kids in your b-school program will be desperate to get your old job. [/quote]
