[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These passive-aggressive posts are ridiculous. Why would any grown adult with a bachelor's degree, let alone a $300,000 bachelor's degree, waste their life in a McDonald's unless they're a franchisee? It's [i]something[/i]. Yeah, something to set off every red flag there is. A spruced up resume and a little bit of effort over the next few weeks should net any new Ivy graduate a $60,000 salary and benefits. Minimum. And a good amount of effort will net far more than one offer, so he or she can negotiate from there. An Ivy League degree is a lottery ticket.[/quote]

Herein lies the problem.  An Ivy League degree is not a lottery ticket anymore, Those days are over.  Traditional Ivy destinations — investment banks, consulting firms, whatever, have expanded their reach well beyond these schools. OP’s son maybe feels like he has to live up to his degree and do something fantastic, rather than searching for what he really wants to do. Maybe just give him some time to realize the whole world is open to him, not the myopic views of the east coast elite.[/quote]
