[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the natural follow up to the AP arms race.  If people want to do it, they should.  I don’t see it having any distinct advantage in the workplace, though, in most cases.[/quote]It can have an advantage with landing that first job. It’s special. It’s rare.  And, it definitely has an advantage for that Ph.D. application![/quote]

Spoken like someone who doesn’t actually work in the commercial sector.

It doesn’t matter one bit in terms of landing that first job.[/quote]Quite to the contrary.  I’ve seen a triple major undergrad land a job that only Master’s levels were getting.  If you have the charisma, ethics, and hard working attitude, with a triple major on your resume, you are a standout candidate. Period.  It’s not happening much at all. Most students don’t have the fortitude for this.  [/quote]

I think you are admitting you don’t work in the commercial sector or you wouldn’t phrase your answer as “I’ve seen” which sounds about as made up an answer as there is.

Why isn’t your response more factual indicating your background and all the triple major kids you have actually hired?  Oh yeah…because you don’t have that background.[/quote]
