[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what I’m getting out of this conversation is that if you and your family don’t give a sh*t about investment banking or corporate law, none of this panic applies to us. Good riddance.[/quote] Investment banking Management consulting Big law Academia [/quote] Academia is 100% about where your graduate degree is from. I got into a top graduate program because I worked as a research assistant in undergrad at a middling school for a prof who had gone to graduate school with friends who now were on the admissions committee at that top graduate school. The academic market is also about which departments need someone in your subfield of your discipline, which you can’t predict Italy the beginning of your 5-7 year graduate and postdoc training. It’s nothing like a normal job market.[/quote]
