[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a liberal arts degree (economics and something soft) from the highest ranked school you can. Recruiting for finance, consulting, and corporate /strategy roles are much much easier if you are in English and economics major coming from Rice or Vanderbilt or Emory compared to CS at Purdue….. Ask around people!!![/quote] This. College is not trade school, despite the pervasive and lingering lower middle class belief to the contrary. [/quote] Agree. It’s a LMC/immigrant view of education’s role. [/quote] Well, I do not agree that liberal arts education was ever a plus except in trust fund circles, however those "immigrants" are taking over most CEO positions and they could care less about what your aristocratic leanings think and PS they wont hire your kids with a great essay writing ability but rather kids with real skills.
